Modernization and Migration

Applications get outdated quickly because of new technologies or market changes. To remain competitive, they need to be upgraded regularly. Our team can modernize your application by optimizing its performance, adding new functions, and improving its interface and security features. We can also help you migrate from other platforms to Linux.

1

We get acquainted with the concept of the future solution and sign a non-disclosure agreement. The team gathers project requirements, studies relevant documents, and analyzes rival products on the market. At this phase, a preliminary project evaluation is made.

2

We contact the customer to confirm the project requirements. Then we create a technical specification and set a budget and deadlines.

3

We make the final evaluation of the project, make up a team, and schedule its workload.

4

We sign a contract for custom Linux application development. The team gets to work.

5

We design the architecture of the app, select libraries, languages, and tools, and start coding. The team identifies and eliminates bugs and optimizes the performance of the software. Customers receive daily reports on the progress. If necessary, the plan can be amended.

6

The team tests all the software functions. We check its performance under corresponding operating conditions. If necessary, the product is then modified.

7

After the tests, we finalize the necessary documentation. We can prepare manuals if the product is designed for in-house use.

8

When the development process is finished, customers can enjoy a free warranty period. During this time, the team will fix any bugs and defects in the product.

Frequently Asked Questions

Read this information to better understand the process of Linux app development.

How long does it take to create a Linux application?

The timing of a project largely depends on its specifics, complexity, scale, choice of components, and logistics. For example, a project audit can take 1-2 months, while AI-based software development usually lasts much longer. We always set realistic deadlines when preparing the spec and stick to the schedule at all project stages.

Do you test applications before handing them over to customers?

Of course! When building Linux applications, testing and debugging are mandatory steps. Our Quality Assurance Department will test the program thoroughly. After the project is finished, we offer a warranty period during which we will fix any discovered bugs.

What about intellectual property rights?

The cession of intellectual property rights is legislated in our contracts. We also sign a non-disclosure agreement to protect any sensitive information. We will mention your project on our website and other platforms only with your permission.

Can I order your services if I don’t have a clear plan?

Naturally! Our team of qualified analysts will help you shape ideas into a concept, estimate the costs, pick the most suitable technologies, and work out an action plan.

What do I get after the project is finished?

After your Linux application is finished, you get a fully functional product, as well as source code, technical documentation, and manuals. If required, we will also provide training.

What is a cross-platform application?

Cross-platform development allows writing source code that can be compiled for different operating systems with minimal changes. Programmers don't need to rewrite most of the source code for each app version. They only need to set up the build process for a specific OS. Such programs will run not only on Linux but on other OS as well, for instance, on Windows and macOS. Cross-platform development is faster and cheaper than creating native apps for each OS.

What programming languages do you use?

We have experts competent in several languages used for Linux app development, including C, C++, C#, Python, and Java. The choice depends on what functionality you want to implement in your solution.

What technologies do you use for Linux application development?

There are plenty of integrated development environments and frameworks for building Linux applications. We pick the ones most suitable for particular projects, such as Eclipse, Visual Studio Code, and NetBeans IDEs, as well as the Qt framework for cross-platform development.

What to consider when hiring a Linux application development company?

The key things to take into account are the domain expertise of the team and their experience in projects similar to yours. The company must not only provide clear cost and time estimation but also justify it in detail. Make sure you check reviews from previous customers and company ratings on Clutch and similar platforms. Also, consider the team's communication skills, as you want to be aware of how the work is progressing.

Who are your customers?

We develop projects for private enterprises and public organizations: small, medium, and large businesses, mining and manufacturing enterprises, startups, healthcare organizations, and enterprises engaged in other industries.
