Analyse your current software and management system. Whether you pass your software onto your software developer or analyse it in-house. Auditing and reviewing your current system is a necessary first-step. You can collate the information you need and identify what systems need improving.

Release your software. A few final polishes and you’re ready to go. Once everything is designed, approved and tested, you can release it to your client or within your company.
Post-release maintenance. It’s vital you have software and system supports in place. Whether this is your internal team or the company you outsource to, they need to be equipped to fix any issues and install upgrades.
