Software Project Rescue

What do you do if your bespoke software project has gone wrong?

There are many reasons why bespoke software projects need rescuing, but the impact is usually that you’re left with an incomplete or failing system and a business that’s suffering as a result. You need to get things back on track and fast, but how to do that?

Why Do Software Projects Fail?

Here at Compass Data Solutions, we have helped a many different clients, both large and small, recover from failing projects caused by:

• • Software produced that isn’t fit for purpose.
  • Development companies or developers going out of business mid-project.
  • The developer was an independent consultant who has taken another job.
  • Falling out with a development company or developer due to project slippage or poor quality.
  • Outsourced projects that are poor quality or unfinished.
  • Software produced uses inappropriate or outdated programming languages.
