Development of business applications

Business applications are crucial to support work processes in any organization. Although each application has a unique data model and business logic that matches the specific business process, there are often a number of standardized functionalities that end users expect.

Whether it's a warehouse system or a customer and order management system, the user expects certain core functionalities.

Core functionalities

Most business applications are based on a data model, and it's important to give users the ability to interact with these data. General functions include:

  • Creation, updating, and deletion of data.
  • Data search.
  • Validation rules.
  • History of data changes.
  • Security implementation.
  • Logging requirements.
  • Intuitive user interface for easy navigation.

Building such an application from scratch can require significant resources in terms of time, expertise, and the number of developers involved.

Challenges in development

The development and maintenance of business applications can be resource-intensive. Applications often go through several versions, and the technological landscape is constantly changing. This can lead to "technical debt", where older applications become obsolete and expensive to maintain.

Technical debt

Technical debt refers to the challenges encountered when an application is not updated in step with technological development. This can be due to:

  • Absence of the original developers.
  • Outdated or obsolete technological frameworks.

Large technical debt can undermine the organization's productivity and make it harder to recruit talented developers.

Administrative management

Effective administration of business applications can be a significant cost, especially if the applications are built on different technological platforms, which can make maintenance and support challenging.
