As demand for the enterprise software (ES) grows, some of the software developing companies are ignoring the basic security issues while developing the enterprise software. This makes businesses vulnerable to threats. Businesses are also over excited about business rather than users and making the ES ineffective.
Some of the major things that need to be considered while developing the enterprise software are:
- Limited budget of the organizations for the enterprise software (ES).
- Some developers are delivering poor quality.
- Over involvement of the owners in designing the software.
- Unaware of the needs of end users.
1. Limited budget of the organizations for the enterprise software (ES)
- Now-a-days, benefits of enterprise software is understood by many organizations and all of them are willing to have an own software for their enterprise.
- This is a good move by the businesses. But the problem is with the small and medium scale organizations.
- Small and medium scale organizations have limited budgets for their ES. There are many software companies in the market today who are designing and developing ES for low cost and attracting organizations to be their clients.
- If the budget is low, the software companies wouldn’t do much justice to the software by protecting it and providing it with all the securities for threats.
2. Some developers are delivering poor quality
- When ordered for the ES, some developing companies are not taking proper care in delivering the quality product.
- This might be due to the lack of understanding of the business and its requirements.
- The quality of the ES would also be low if developers use the old technologies for coding the application.
- Ultimately, it is the businesses that fall victim to the poor quality of the software. The functionality and the productivity of the business are badly effected with the inefficient enterprise software (ES).
- All the securities should be provided to the ES by the developers to protect it from hackers, viruses, etc. it has to be updated whenever needed.
3. Over involvement of Business owners in designing ES
- It is important that the representatives of business should take part in the designing phase of the enterprise software. This gives the developers the chance to understand the requirements of the business.
- But the quality and the functionality of the ES is affected if the business people over involves. There should not be any pressure and inform modifications often by the business to the developers.
- Businesses should keep the users and customers in the mind rather than the business while ordering the business software.
4. Unaware of the needs of the end users
- Care should be taken by the business to keep the end users in mind. The Enterprise software and the interface to communicate should be easy and attractive to the users.
- It should present all the information needed to the user. If the organization is unaware of the needs of the end users, then the enterprise software built is useless.
- Organization should not only think of their business but should keep the end users and their needs in mind. Because it is for the users for which the software is developed.
- It is important for the business to have the clear idea about the requirements of the users and design the software accordingly.
So, an enterprise software to function well, all the security issues must be kept in mind and apply the security measures to the software for proper functioning of enterprise software and the business.
