Transparity’s Custom App Development Process

Whether you are seeking innovative greenfield development or looking to enhance your existing software, our custom software development services are tailored to your needs. We specialise in building entirely new solutions from the ground up, or refactoring applications to add new features, improve user experience, update interface design, and strengthen security. However your project begins, we ensure your software remains robust, up-to-date, and perfectly suited to your organisation’s goals.

Scoping & Design

We begin with a focus on thorough scoping and design, ensuring that security is embedded from the outset. This stage also includes configuring the technical environment and setting up robust IAC (Infrastructure as Code) and CI/CD (Continuous Integration / Deployment) pipelines for seamless automated deployments across testing, user acceptance, and live environments.

Software Development

Next, our team focuses on the core software engineering task of development, including thorough documentation and structured sprint planning with regular reviews to ensure each stage aligns with the project objectives and maintains momentum toward successful delivery.

Testing

The next phase is comprehensive software testing, combining both manual and automated approaches (BDD, Gherkin, Playwright), with dedicated support for user acceptance testing (UAT) to ensure the final product meets quality standards and project requirements.

Handover and Ongoing Support

Finally, we provide a smooth transition by offering mentoring and handover to your internal team, alongside optional ongoing support tailored to your needs, including Azure hosting, managed services, and licensing, ensuring your solution remains robust and well-supported after delivery.

“People didn’t think this type of connectivity was possible within this budget, but through the quality of engineering of Transparity, the quality of the development team fronted up with the PM alongside the APPCAN input in terms of UAT and direction, we successfully delivered on time and in budget as stated.”

Elevating User Experience Through AI-Driven App Development ​

Imagine a future where apps not only respond to user needs but anticipate them with uncanny accuracy — this is the power artificial intelligence (AI) brings to app development today. AI has become a cornerstone in modern app design, elevating user experiences to unprecedented levels. That said, AI’s rapidly evolving role in app development is making businesses encounter a new set of standards and expectations. 

For decision-makers contemplating the integration of AI into their applications, the journey might seem daunting. This whitepaper aims to demystify the integration process, highlight the tangible benefits of AI-powered apps, and showcase how Azure Open AI and Azure AI Services can be the catalyst for creating more engaging, intuitive, and satisfying user journeys.

Microsoft .NET Development Services

With .NET software development, you can build highly scalable cloud-native applications in Azure.

.NET Core (.NET 6+)

With Microsoft .NET Core application development, you have software delivered which has all the power of the .NET Framework along with the flexibility and support of open source.

.NET Core (.NET 6+) offers significant benefits for custom app development. All brand-new .NET projects developed by Transparity use .NET Core, delivering to you an enterprise application built for Windows, Linux, macOS and Docker, as well as device, cloud, and embedded systems using the same code.

.NET Framework

The .NET Framework is the backbone of software development on the Microsoft Platform and Transparity has been developing software using it since it was first released in 2002.

The .NET Framework provides a unified development structure for enterprise software development and includes all the core features an application needs in one place including File, Network and I/O, User Interface, Memory and Thread Management, Encryption and Exception handling.

Single Page Applications (SPA)

A single-page application is a web application or website that interacts with the user by dynamically managing a single page rather than constantly retrieving new pages from the server.

The SPA provides for a more responsive and improved user experience and most modern web applications are now developed this way.

Transparity develops SPA web applications using Blazor, Angular or React to create the user interface and Web API, the .NET framework and Entity Framework to deliver the data.

We also provide expert .NET consultancy in:

ASP.NET (including MVC and Web Forms) for creating bespoke Web Applications
Web API for creating secure APIs with JSON/XML and exposed with REST and SOAP
Entity Framework and ADO.NET for managing database access
Entra ID, Entra External ID, Azure B2C, OAuth, for managing authentication
C# – the de facto programming language when using .NET

FAQs

What is custom software development?

Custom software development is the process of designing, creating, deploying, and maintaining software tailored specifically to address the unique needs of a particular organisation or user group, rather than adopting off-the-shelf solutions.

Unlike off-the-shelf software, custom applications are built from the ground up to match exact processes, workflows, and business goals. This often leads to improved efficiency, flexibility, and scalability.

Outsourcing allows you to access a pool of specialised expertise, benefit from cost efficiencies, and speed up project delivery. It also enables your internal teams to focus on core business functions while experts manage the technological complexities.

Yes. Skilled outsourcing teams are adept at integrating new software with legacy systems, APIs, databases, and third-party services to ensure smooth interoperability and minimal disruption.

Transparity offers comprehensive support and managed services, including updates, bug fixes, enhancements, and user training to keep your solution running smoothly over time.

.NET is a robust, flexible, and secure framework that supports rapid development, integration with various technologies, and scalability for future growth. Its wide range of libraries and Microsoft support make it a reliable choice for both web, mobile and desktop applications.
