Cross Examination Of Nigerian Financial Software Development

By Marcie Goodman


Financial software is a collection of applications that are used for recording all the activities that are taking [place within a business organization. The records are usually those that relate to the various transactions that occur during the various accounting periods. The applications are used for consolidating various incomes, expenditure and other funds that funds that are used for research and development. The Nigerian financial software development process takes care of various needs. The organizations that need to have the applications developed have to be assessed to establish their needs.

A financial application has various features that enable the inputting of key elements. The applications manage the inputs and process them. Before the inputs are keyed into this system, a couple of elements need to be defined. There are a number of accounts that are available. These are used for registering the receivables, payable expenses, investment expenses and the development expense.

An organization is examined well so as to establish the various needs within such organizations. The firm assessment processes form the basis on which various demands by the users and employees are highlighted. The current systems are taken into consideration. The examinations of these systems establish what need to be changed or upgraded during the construction of new systems. The problems at hand are then broken down into a series of coding problems.

The development paths for most applications are often very critical and occasionally risky. The most definitive paths take into consideration the urgent issues which the developers should take into consideration. Most of the problems are usually very large. These are broken down into a number of smaller bits which are then assessed in stages. The use of structural programming advances the break-down of a number of programming problems.

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.

The implementation of projects needs to be approached with a lot of care to reduce the risk of failure. Most of the managers use the parallel implementation strategy. The old systems are run parallel with the new ones for a specified period of time. Once the managers have been assured that the systems meet the objectives, the old ones are eliminated.

The Nigerian financial software development is done with accordance with certain regulations. The framework of development ensures that the systems meet international standards of computing. The standardization of systems ensure that the quality is nor compromised in pursuit of cost reduction.
