java development, extranet and intranet software applications

  HOME > COMPANY PROFILE
 

PT Jawasoft is a British owned and managed software company based in central Jakarta. We currently have a staff of 7 including a team of Java developers, a web designer and a network specialist.

The company has been in operation for almost 5 years and has built up a reputation for delivering results on time and under budget, for a range of blue chip clients.

Wherever possible we will propose long term software rental packages rather than one off fixed price development contracts. The benefits of this approach for the customer are many:

  • Low risk - we develop the software at our own risk, the client only pays when it is in place and operational.
  • Costs more closely aligned with benefits on a monthly basis.
  • Monthly rental includes ongoing support and development so that new features can be added and bugs fixed as they are reported.
  • If the requirements change or the software is no longer required the contract can be terminated without writing off a large upfront investment.
  • By working together over a long period of time we can come to a better understanding of your business, enabling us to customise our software to more efficiently solve your problems.

Our philosophy at Jawasoft is best summed up by our catchphrase "Software that Works!" It may seem obvious that software should work - until you remember that the majority of all software projects fail to meet their objectives, costing their sponsors billions of dollars in lost investment every year worldwide.

Why do so many projects fail? There are many reasons but the one that comes up the most is communication failures. The software solves the problem the developers thought needed solving, not the problem the users needed solving. Without clear communication between the developers of the system and the end users there is little chance of success.

How do we minimize this communication risk?

  • British management ensures that overall goal is clearly understood from the start.
  • Twelve years oilfield experience an added bonus to our oil field clients.
  • Incremental development approach allows the users to verify each improvement a step at a time on a monthly or even weekly upgrade schedule.
  • Innovative business model based on partnership and long-term value creation, rather than fixed price contracts encourage us to listen and respond to our clients, and eliminate client risk.
