Different Aspects Of Nigerian Financial Software Development

By Marcie Goodman


There are several systems that are used for the maintaining of various accounting records within a financial organization. An accounting system is uniquely developed to take care of all the recording needs. In most cases, the receivables, payable expenses and an array of expenses that are incurred in the process of running various operations are recorded in one system. The Nigerian financial software development process should assess the current needs of various users before implementing a new system.

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.

Organization based assessments ought to be carried out at the preliminary stages. The various tests conducted on the current systems help to establish what is lacking in the current accounting applications. Any duplication of data or redundancy of processes is established at this stage. The tests establish what needs to be changed in the current systems. Any upgrades or complete overhauls are also pinpointed at this stage.

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.

Once the structural programming elements have been identified, the programmers and the coding team start the process of putting the problem into perspective. Coding is done in various applications. The modern coding programs have automated some processes. The objects are defined and then the characteristics of various objects are built around these items. The bits are then linked to form the final project which is then tested for any bugs.

There are several constraints that the managers are faced with. In most cases, costs of developing the programs may end up rising more than expected as a result of inflation. Budgets get out of hand. The delivery of systems under consideration may be delayed as a result.

The implementation of the new pieces of systems is very important to particular firms. The managers supervise the implementation. In most cases, a parallel implementation strategy is often implemented to reduce the level of risks associated with system implementation. The risks analysts help ascertain the amounts of risks that can be handled by each individual firm.

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.
