What is software?

Generally, software is a set of instructions that make computers do useful work. An "app" on your mobile phone is an example of software. QuickBooks, Microsoft Word, Firefox, Internet Explorer are all examples of apps built with software.

Why should I care about software?

If you have a business, you're probably using software to make money. So is your competition. In our technological age, if you're using better, smarter, more efficient software than your competitors, you gain a competitive advantage.

So my competitors use MS Word, I use MS Word. Who has an advantage?

Using this sort of "off-the-shelf" software, it's probably a dead-heat. But you may also be using a variety of CUSTOM software to run your business… such as accounting, inventory, or customer relationship management software. These sorts of systems truly are the real LIFEBLOOD of your business. And since these systems are

often quite large and highly customized to suit the requirements of your business, there is ample opportunity to fix problems (bugs), add new functionality or optimize what's already in place.

Who develops software?

Really smart, cool nerds…

Here at Boomcycle being a nerd is pretty awesome!

Shouldn't I just hire a bunch of cool nerds?

Smart, lean companies realize that software developers are expensive, and what developers create can often be accomplished on a project basis. This equates to less need for a staff of full-time software employees, and a greater need for on-demand, as-needed software development and maintenance services. In addition, the most talented software developers and project managers (PMs) aren't always available in a particular physicalarea. Boomcycle leverages the best developers and PMs, based throughout the U.S.

Oh, so you mean 'outsourcing'

Yes, though Boomcycle uses only developers and Project Managers who are based in the U.S. for optimal security. Best of all, you get the highest quality at competitive rates on a per-project basis with no long-term or on-going commitment as compared to hiring employees.
