Bespoke software can initially take a few months to get ready, hence the strong emphasis is given to documenting the expected software features, prioritisation and necessary detailing.
We establish a clear way of working with our clients and establish a core team, that is empowered to make timely decisions to manage the scope, schedule, workforce and project critical project roles so that activities run as smoothly as possible.
What is the average duration fo software development projects?
It depends! We have executed software projects which took a fortnight’s proof of concept to a couple of months of development. We are also developing a state-of-the-art solution for a niche market, which is a good 12-month project. In a nutshell, it depends upon the complexity of clients requirement to derive the effort and overall timeline.

Cloud Pursuit transformed the way we operate. We were looking for off-the-shelf CRM systems and found most of them, either very expensive or built with outdated technology. Cloud Pursuit presented an alternate approach, to develop a product that is suitable for the F&HE market. The CRM made our entire administration process paperless, this included onboarding, enrolment, and attendance, making us much more efficient and preventing any loss of important documentation. It allowed us to accurately monitor the student journey from interest to certification, giving us a full end-to-end view.
We have also been extremely pleased with how user-friendly the platform has been allowing our staff to access it easily via the internet with little training. From a compliance standpoint, it has been a brilliant solution as it comes with built-in data security and GDPR compliance. We are operating a lot more efficiently as a business.
