I. Visual Patterns ResearchMANY ORGANIZATIONS, LARGE AND SMALL, need custom software applications built for their business because off-the-shelf software often doesn't meet their needs. These custom software applications are built in-house, off-site, or using a combination of the two. This appendix discusses some of the problems our industry currently faces with custom software development. The research and development project I have recently launched on my website, visualpatterns.com, addresses some of these problems (described next). |
