Different Aspects Of Nigerian Financial Software Development

By Marcie Goodman


Financial software is a collection of applications that are used for recording all the activities that are taking [place within a business organization. The records are usually those that relate to the various transactions that occur during the various accounting periods. The applications are used for consolidating various incomes, expenditure and other funds that funds that are used for research and development. The Nigerian financial software development process takes care of various needs. The organizations that need to have the applications developed have to be assessed to establish their needs.

The definition of various features and the data types is commonly done by the use of special tools that are offered by accounting applications. There are various types of forms, tables and other tools that define what will be inputted into these systems. These tools commonly represent what is to be recorded for a particular organization. The tools require that the data of the same type ought to be entered into these forms and tables.

There is a need to establish the problems that need to be tackled before embarking on the process of developing the various applications. The organization assessments establish the current needs of the firms in question. Through the examination of such problems, the definition of the demands is done. This helps the programmers and the developers to break down the problems into smaller bits.

Once the problem has been established, the developers embark on charting a path that will be used in finding the solutions. The process of developing various applications is very complicated. A special team is assembled by the developers. Each of the members within this team is assigned as special role. Some are entrusted with the data collection and information organizations. Other players have a role of parameter assessment. The information of various players is consolidated during the programming and coding of problems in question.

Once the structural programming elements have been identified, the programmers and the coding team start the process of putting the problem into perspective. Coding is done in various applications. The modern coding programs have automated some processes. The objects are defined and then the characteristics of various objects are built around these items. The bits are then linked to form the final project which is then tested for any bugs.

The project managers are faced with a couple of constraints. The constraints are mainly in the form of costs and time factors. Budgets are drafted at the onset of most projects. The costs that are likely to be incurred are estimated. Inflation on the prices makes the projects more expensive and this may delay the implementation.

The implementation of projects needs to be approached with a lot of care to reduce the risk of failure. Most of the managers use the parallel implementation strategy. The old systems are run parallel with the new ones for a specified period of time. Once the managers have been assured that the systems meet the objectives, the old ones are eliminated.

The Nigerian financial software development is usually done in accordance with the international computing standards. The standardization process helps ensure that the standards of developing enterprise applications are observed. The process reduces the risks associated with substandard programs and consequently the risk of failure.
