Custom Software Development That Actually Works

In today’s fast-moving digital world, off-the-shelf software often falls short. It might do some of what you need, but it never quite fits the way your business truly works. That’s where custom software development comes in. But let’s be honest: not all custom software delivers on its promise. Some projects run over budget, miss deadlines, or simply don’t solve the right problem. So what does it take to get custom software that works?

It Starts With Understanding Your Business  

The key to effective custom software isn’t fancy code or the latest tech trend—it’s a deep understanding of your goals. A good development partner will never rush into building features before asking the right questions:

  • What’s the real challenge we’re solving?
  • Who will be using this software?
  • How does this fit into your workflow or long-term strategy?

Custom solutions should align with how your team works—not force you to change processes just to match the software.

Built Around Your Users  

Custom software isn’t just about business logic or performance—it’s about people. If your team finds it clunky or confusing, it’s not a success. Software that works is intuitive, efficient, and makes daily tasks easier. That’s why user experience (UX) and interface design (UI) are not “extras” in a development project—they’re at the core.

Developers and designers need to collaborate from the start. Listening to users, observing how they work, and gathering feedback during development makes all the difference. In the end, great software feels like it was made for the user—because it was.

The Right Tech Stack for the Job  

One of the biggest advantages of going custom is the freedom to choose the right tools. A skilled development team won’t just pick trendy frameworks—they’ll choose technologies based on scalability, maintainability, and fit for your needs. That might mean using modern tools like React, Python, or Node.js—or something more niche that’s ideal for your environment.

This flexibility ensures your software grows with you. No more outgrowing your platform or struggling with outdated systems. You get a solution that’s designed to evolve alongside your business.

Agile and Adaptable, Not Rigid  

Too many software projects fall apart because of rigid planning. Business needs shift, users give feedback, and things change—and that’s okay. A modern, agile approach to software development allows your solution to adapt during the process. Instead of waiting months to see the final product, you get working iterations and ongoing collaboration. This leads to better results, faster delivery, and far fewer surprises.

Support That Doesn’t Disappear After Launch  

Custom software is a continuous process. Long after implementation, the top development partners continue to offer support. They assist you in tracking performance, resolving problems, and updating in response to practical usage. What makes bespoke development sustainable is ongoing maintenance, whether it involves adding new features, scaling for increased user numbers, or making minor functional adjustments.

Final Thoughts  

Custom software development can be a game-changer—but only when it’s done right. It’s not about building more features or throwing in cutting-edge tech. It’s about creating a solution that fits your business, supports your users, and adapts as you grow.

Working with a team that pays attention, makes strategic goals, and remains engaged after launch results in more than simply specialized software—it's a tool that works. And that's ultimately what distinguishes truly valuable from just constructed.

IRIS for MACにODBCでアクセスする方法その3

前回、macOS上でLibreOfficeからODBC経由でアクセスするためのセットアップについて記事を書きました。

今回 .Net経由でODBCにアクセスする方法を試したので報告します。

LibreOfficeの場合、iODBCでしたが、.Netの場合は、unixODBCを使用します。

従来のバージョンでは、IRISのunixODBCドライバーはUnicode対応(ワイド)でなかったため、.NetのODBCでは日本語を正しく処理できませんでしたが、2025.2よりワイドドライバーが追加されたため正しく処理できるようになりました。

今回.Net経由のアクセスを試した理由は、ODBC版Cache DirectエミュレータをMacで動かせないかと考えたからです。

ODBC版Cache Directエミュレータ

こちらのリポジトリにも設定方法の詳細を記載していますが、Mac上でunixODBCドライバーを設定する方法を紹介します。

  • IRISバージョン

unixODBCのUnicode(ワイド)版のドライバーが必要なため、IRIS 2025.2以降のバージョンが必要です。

  • unixODBCのインストール

Homebrewを使用してインストールします。

brew install unixodbc

 

  • 必要なunixodbc関連ライブラリをコピーする
cp /opt/homebrew/lib/libodbc*.dylib /usr/local/lib
cp /opt/iris/bin/libodbc*.dylib /usr/local/lib
cp /opt/iris/bin/irisconnect.so /usr/local/lib

ls /usr/local/lib
irisconnect.so        libodbc.dylib        libodbccr.dylib        libodbcinst.dylib
libodbc.2.dylib        libodbccr.2.dylib    libodbcinst.2.dylib

 

  • odbc.iniとodbcinst.ini

/opt/homebrew/etcの下にodbc.iniとodbcinst.iniを置く

 

  • odbcinst.iniの設定内容

[InterSystems ODBC]
UsageCount=1
Driver=/opt/iris/bin/libirisodbc35.so
Setup=/opt/iris/bin/libirisodbc35.so
SQLLevel=1
FileUsage=0
DriverODBCVer=02.10
ConnectFunctions=YYN
APILevel=1
DEBUG=1
CPTimeout=<not pooled>

 

  • odbc.iniの設定内容

[iris user]
Driver=InterSystems ODBC
Protocol=TCP
Host=localhost
Port=1972
Database=USER
UID=_system
Password=sys
Description=User namespace
Query Timeout=0
Static Cursors=0
Trace=off

 

  • PATHの設定 例  
export PATH="/opt/homebrew/lib:/opt/homebrew/bin:/opt/iris/bin:/opt/iris/lib/python:/opt/iris/mgr/python:$PATH"

The XPLR Merch Hoodie: A Staple in Streetwear Culture

Out of all the products released under the XPLR umbrella, the hoodie continues to be a best-seller—and for good reason. The XPLR merch hoodie has become a go-to for fans and streetwear enthusiasts alike due to its:

Comfort is king in modern fashion, and the XPLR merch hoodie delivers. Made from soft, premium-quality materials like fleece and cotton blends, the hoodies are perfect for everyday wear—whether you're out exploring or just relaxing at home.

3. Versatility

One of the biggest appeals of the XPLR hoodie is how easily it fits into different wardrobes. It pairs just as well with joggers and sneakers as it does with denim and boots. Whether you're dressing it up or keeping it low-key, it adapts to your style.

4. Limited Edition Drops

XPLR merch releases are typically done in limited drops, making each hoodie feel exclusive. Fans eagerly await new collections, knowing they might not get another chance to grab that specific colorway or design. This keeps the hype alive and ensures that owning XPLR merch feels special.

  • Loungewear Chic: Match it with joggers or sweatpants for a cozy fit that still looks stylish.

Because of its minimal design, it’s easy to mix and match with your existing wardrobe.

Where to Buy XPLR Merch

Official XPLR merch is available through the brand’s website, often promoted on Sam and Colby’s YouTube channel and Instagram.
