Analysis Of The 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.

A financial application has various features that enable the inputting of key elements. The applications manage the inputs and process them. Before the inputs are keyed into this system, a couple of elements need to be defined. There are a number of accounts that are available. These are used for registering the receivables, payable expenses, investment expenses and the development expense.

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.

Coding is done by programmers and this puts the problems in question into a perspective. The process is managed by project managers with special skills in computing. Various programs are used in the process of entering the codes into the computers. The codes are broken down into smaller applications which are dealt with at each stage. Once the coding of these bits has been completed, the final project is assembled into the final piece.

There are several constraints that the managers are faced with. In most cases, costs of developing the programs may end up rising more than expected as a result of inflation. Budgets get out of hand. The delivery of systems under consideration may be delayed as a result.

The implementation of projects needs to be approached with a lot of care to reduce the risk of failure. Most of the managers use the parallel implementation strategy. The old systems are run parallel with the new ones for a specified period of time. Once the managers have been assured that the systems meet the objectives, the old ones are eliminated.

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.
