Services Overview
Most of our software products are also available as a service! For example, instead of purchasing our accounting package, you can use our accounting software over the internet, for a monthly subscription fee. While some may view this option as needlessly expensive, for others the convenience is worth the expense. When you use our software as a service, you don't need to worry about backing up your data, or access from home or other locations. Our servers are up 24/7, backed up daily, with UPS for emergency power and useable over ANY internet connection, including dialup!
And, since it's our software, we can customize it to your specific needs!

Custom Programming
Our custom programming service allows you to have a program written or modified to your specifications. This can be a program for a web site (such as a program to capture substription info for a newsletter), changes to our accounting package (for example, different paper size for a specific report), or a project completely unrelated to any of our pre-existing software (such as modifying the programming on your cash registers to do something they can not do now).

We have over 25 year's experience doing custom programming, using a wide variety of programming languages, databases and operating systems. These include several forms of BASIC (including Visual BASIC), HTML/XHTML/DHTML/XML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, Perl, MySQL, ForTran, DOS, Windows, Unix and Linux.

Spectra Software does custom programming either on a time-and-materials basis or by bid. While custom programming is relatively expensive (certainly more than just purchasing a program "off the shelf" in some store), it can be cost-effective for businesses. The thing to remember is that custom programming is a Capital Investment. That means that it is an investment in the future of your business. You pay for the programming once, and you get the benefit of that programming as long as you use it. So, let's say your thinking about spending $5,000 on some custom programming. Wow, that's a lot of money. But, if that programming saves you 5 hours per day of labor and your labor cost, including taxes and benefits, is $15/hr then you are saving $3900 per year. That means you will break even in 15 months! That is an incredible break even point for a capital investment! If you don't believe me, just ask your accountant. They usually consider a break-even of 5 years to be a good investment!

So, while custom programming can be expensive, it doesn't have to be. And, the question to always ask when considering custom programming is "What is the break-even point". The answer to that question will never steer you wrong.
