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.

An accounting application has several features into which specific types of data is entered. These applications define what should be entered into the special tables and forms before the actual entry of data. The forms and tables in the applications represent the various accounts in an accounting world. Data of the same type is organized into the receivables, research and development expenditures and other general expenditures.

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.

Once the problem has been established, the developers embark on charting a path that will be used in finding the solutions. The process of developing various applications is very complicated. A special team is assembled by the developers. Each of the members within this team is assigned as special role. Some are entrusted with the data collection and information organizations. Other players have a role of parameter assessment. The information of various players is consolidated during the programming and coding of problems in question.

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 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 process is done in accordance with the international standards. The computing standards ensure that the projects that are implemented have certain qualities. Through the standardization process, the risks in the computing world are reduced as the systems are thoroughly tested.
