Catalyst can assist with resourcing your software project. Our team are highly skilled in a variety of programming languages and frameworks. We have helped numerous clients in Education, Government, Commercial and Not-for-profit sectors with their custom software development needs.
Custom software – tailored to your unique needs
Off the shelf software may be inexpensive and easy to purchase, but ultimately the total cost of ownership (TCO) can be high. This is particularly true if you are an enterprise organisation that needs to scale, requiring streamlined operational processes for your specific business needs.
Open source innovation
The experienced development team at Catalyst create enterprise custom applications, using open source programming languages. There’s no need for vendor lock-in or upfront licence fees, you simply pay for the features that you need to achieve the outcomes that you want.
Agile software development
We are committed to managing projects using the Agile methodology, breaking projects into a number of key phases. As IT professionals, we collaborate closely with our clients, checking small iterations of code releases along the way. When our clients see a concept come alive, they can then start to adjust their expectation as to the reality of what is possible.

Why invest in custom software.
Increased ROI
Custom software requires some investment at the start but the long term costs are lower: less hardware, fewer licences, more streamlined operational processes.
Scale (up or down)
By having an operation that is streamlined and systematic you reduce the friction i.e. the touch points and opportunities for errors. Have a business that is seasonal? Being able to scale up and down, as required, can be extremely efficient.
Flexibility
Custom software is adaptable. Should your processes change, you have the flexibility to update your existing software, avoiding the sunken cost of purchasing a new one.
Systems Integration
Custom software can be developed to support existing processes and infrastructure that span your business.
Competitive Advantage
In a mature / enterprise organisation, if you can increase productivity and efficiency, your business becomes more competitive.
User Experience (UX)
If your staff follow processes that are onerous and mundane, engagement levels will deteriorate. Investing in software that does just what you need it to do, will improve UX and increase your people confidence.
Technical Support
When you commission a custom software development company for your project, you start a collaborative support network that understands your operations, your infrastructure and your goals.
