Fish Farming and Distribution
This project was to upgrade from Alpha 4 to Alpha 5.
There is a big difference between the two versions of Alpha,
as Alpha 4 will no longer work on the more recent
versions of Windows.
The process
Using screen images of the existing application and having exported the database information, we were able to relate the two. This is an experience thing and having worked across both versions, the relationship between the data and the user interface was relatively easy to understand.
Prototyping
We developed prototypes which enabled us to demonstrate that we have understood the original application and how best to present it in a new one which runs on the latest versions of Windows. There was no charge for this service.
Building the App
The client did not need to purchase a new version of Alpha, We were able to provide all the necessary software required in order to place a completely operational application on their shared office server server under the licensing agreement we operate under with Alphsoftware.
Costs & Support
These are confidential and were agreed before any work started. Charges were hourly and in £ however $ are also accepted.
Support over Skype is free while remote data connection was charged at the hourly rate. The client may have saved up to 75% of the fees charged by other software operations who outsource the work and take a fee.
