Ayoka’s Director of Software Development talks about why companies need to keep up with application upgrades.

Arlington, TX – As computer technology continues to advance at what seems like the speed of light, companies may find themselves scrambling to keep up. While many businesses understand the need to keep hardware contemporary to enhance performance and storage capabilities, for example, they may not fully understand why applications, too, must be constantly monitored. Unreliable performance or incompatibility with newer software can cause real problems that may, in fact, hit a company’s bottom line.

“What worked beautifully to meet a company’s needs or those of its clients five years ago very likely will not offer the same results today,” explains Chad King, Ayoka’s Director of Software Development. “Applications must also be continuously upgraded and enhanced to integrate with newer hardware and software. Failing to do so can pose a host of problems for companies and their clients.”

Online banking software developed to help a bank’s customers access their accounts from the comfort of their homes or smartphones, for example, needs to remain on the cutting edge in regard to upgrades for a few reasons. Failing to keep this type of application up to date can result in poor client-side performance, unreliability and even breaches in security.

“Financial services companiesthat fail to keep their applications up to date run a number of risks that can compromise security, cause clients to choose to do business elsewhere or even land them in hot water with industry regulators,” Chad says. “Simple application updates and sometimes full upgrades are required to make sure enterprise software, regardless of the enterprise’s industry, remains secure, functional and compatible as other software advances.”

Enterprises are likely to find that custom software development makes the most sense for the applications they use. This option can also ensure more responsive and rapid upgrades as they are required since reputable custom developers remain committed to their products long after creation.
