Different Aspects Of Nigerian Financial Software Development

By Marcie Goodman


Financial software is a system of applications that are used to record various types of accounting information. The records that are reflected in these systems are those of expenses and incomes from specific accounting periods. The systems have special accounts into which the receivables and other types of expenses are entered into. The Nigerian financial software development process should take care of various needs by a firm. Before the process is embarked on, there is a need to define various problems that these organizations face.

An accounting application has several features into which specific types of data is entered. These applications define what should be entered into the special tables and forms before the actual entry of data. The forms and tables in the applications represent the various accounts in an accounting world. Data of the same type is organized into the receivables, research and development expenditures and other general expenditures.

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.

The application development path is very risky and complicated. The problems are defined and as result the urgent matters are understood very well. The large problems that have been pinpointed are broken down into a series of smaller bits. The features that are offered by the structural programming tools ensure that problems can be easily be broken into smaller bits. This is followed by the assembling of a team of experts and the delegation of duties.

A coding team is usually assembled to convert the problems into a series of codes. The codes are the building blocks for computing applications. Structural programs allow the programmers to identify the main elements within the coding structures. This is then used for definition of various parameters. The programs allows for the objects to be built around these elements. The programs that have been developed are then tested for any bugs. The team leaders may move on to the next phase of upgrades after this.

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.

Implementation of the software projects is supervised by the managers with the help of risk analysts. T reduce the risk of failure, most of the new projects are run side to side with the old systems. This is done for some time until the experts are assured that they meet the intended objectives.

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.
