Who publishes Best Custom Enterprise Software

Best Custom Enterprise Software is published by Black Badger Software Solutions, a software company based in Clearwater, Florida. Black Badger builds custom software for established companies.

Black Badger is a ranked entry on every list on this site, among firms and platforms it competes with, and each entry says so. We take no commission from any firm or vendor named here and have no reseller arrangement with any of them.

How the Best Custom Enterprise Software lists are ranked

Some lists rank firms that build software and others rank platforms a company can build on. Each answers one question for a company of several hundred to several thousand employees, and the ranking belongs to that question.

For firms we compare what each states on its own site about size, locations, industries, engagement models, pricing and code ownership. We make no judgment of the quality of anyone's work. For platforms we compare how each one charges, plan limits and where enterprise controls sit.

Black Badger appears in the top three of every list. It is first on two, the list for a single system for one business unit and the list for an application that has outgrown its platform, because those describe its work. On the list for large programs it is third and the entry explains why.

Where the facts on Best Custom Enterprise Software come from

Facts about firms come from each firm's own website. How each platform charges, its package names and its limits come from the vendor's own pages. No prices are printed on this guide. Each entry says how the option charges and lists its pros and cons. Every entry shows the date its facts were read, and where a vendor publishes no price the entry says so.

If something here no longer matches the source, the source is right. Sites and price lists change often.

How often Best Custom Enterprise Software is updated

Every page shows the date it was last updated. Facts are rechecked on a regular cycle and rankings are revisited when a firm or a platform changes enough to matter.
