The software development market is a leading one in Ukraine. Our IT specialists are in high demand not only in the national but also in the global economy. This is evidenced by the statistical data of recent years.

Technologies are constantly evolving and improving, and the modern world is actively moving online, adapting to new realities. 

Professional software development will maximize the competitiveness of your business and help you to rise to a higher level. 

Software is a set of programs or program documents that, using a PC, ensure the implementation of various tasks. It can be of 3 types: system, application, and tool. 

System software provides user interaction with the PC, servicing its own needs to perform internal functions. 

Examples of system software are:

• operating systems (Windows, Linux, MS-DOS, Unix);
• utilities - archivers (WinRar, WinZip, COMPRESS, TAR, ARK, etc.);
• drivers - responsible for the correct operation of the computer with new devices;
• anti-virus programs (Avast, Dr Web, Kaspersky Anti-Virus, ESET NOD32, 360 Total Security, etc;)
• programs designed to optimize disks (CCleaner, Wise Care 365, Windows Cleaner, Restoro);
• PC diagnostic programs (AIDA64, SIW, Everest, CPU-Z, GPU-Z, OCCT).

Application software is designed to solve and implement certain tasks related to data processing. There are two types of application software: general and special purpose. 

Examples of general-purpose software include text (Microsoft Word, LibreOffice, Notepad++, Emacs, WordPad) and graphic editors (Adobe Photoshop, Paint, Adobe Illustrator, 3D Studio Max, GIMP), spreadsheets (Microsoft Excel, Open Office, KSpread), and database systems (MySQL, SQLite, PostgreSQL, Oracle Database, MongoDB).

Special-purpose applications have a narrower concept and are used depending on the type of activity of a particular enterprise, company, or division. These include the following: OpenCyc, AutoCAD, Law, etc. 

Instrumentation software is used to implement and operate new programs. This type of software includes editors, compilers, interpreters, translators, databases, and spreadsheet processors. 

Everyone working in the IT industry and beyond has repeatedly encountered the concepts of Scrum and Agile methodologies. These are software development technologies that automate the creation process and, directly, project management. 

Agile is an approach to flexible software development, the essence of which is to divide the work into certain cycles, at the end of each of which the client receives a specified part of the functionality within this cycle.

Scrum is based on Agile. The workflow according to this methodology is divided into sprints - from 1 to 4 weeks. Before a sprint starts, its tasks are formed, and after it ends, the results are discussed and a new sprint begins. The participants of this process, in addition to developers, are a scrum master and a customer. According to statistics, more than 70% of IT companies use the SCRUM management approach, which proves its effectiveness and efficiency. 

Let's highlight the main steps of software development:

• analysis and formation of requirements;
• design - determination of development technologies, discussion of technical issues, design process, team formation, timing and budget;
• implementation;
• testing of developments;
• elimination of deficiencies, if any. 
• release and transfer of the program to end users;
• technical support.

It is hard to imagine the world today without software, which has become the driving force behind the development of information technology. Economic progress has led to the introduction and use of software in the everyday life of many enterprises, companies and banking institutions in a particular industry.
