Argus Web Development Process Cycle

The internet is becoming part of everybody's life in Qatar, from schoolchildren through to senior executives. Increasing internet access in homes, schools and businesses is a key part of Qatar's economic development strategy, building the foundations for the advancement of its knowledge economy.

I feel the Qatar market is becoming more competitive day by day and most business organizations started to think of taking maximum advantage of suitable latest technologies. Argus is researching the market to know the latest trends and serving our valued customers with most care for the last 3 years. For a business, as you aware, first important thing you need a website. Before developing a website, we know that you set your main objective as - a visitor of your web should get utmost impression or feeling than the one who visit your office/ organization. At Argus, we develop your websites with most care and through well defined life cycle steps.

Like any software, website development also requires standard methodologies and procedures. We would like to engage in a web project after a detailed preliminary study only. Before undertaking any project, there is an introduction and consultation phase, in which we gathered important information about the client’s business and their audience. So that we can set the goals – how can the site best serve the needs of the client and the users?

It is important for you to know and convey the purpose of your website, the intended audience of your website, and the message you want to communicate via your website. These will vary depending upon your line of business and whether you are a commercial business, or are a non-profit or political organization.

We will do a detailed study about client’s needs and how we can create a site that will effectively communicate with the audiences they would like to reach. We will draft a sitemap and discuss with them again with more options and recommendations. We can explain the strategy that we applied in organizing the site and listen carefully your feedbacks for changes and modifications.

POS solutions and Accounting Software in Qatar


Are you looking POS (Point of Sales) with strong inventory and financial accounting modules in Qatar? I will try to give you some guide lines to select a good one for your business success in future.

Finding a POS for you is not simple, you can find several ready available POS software, but you are not sure whether which one is good one for you and whether can incorporate your own specified requirements. So how can you choose the best one? It should be based on lot factors, try to find the important questions you should ask your self to find the answers. In every POS you may be find lot of features, some of that one you required, some not required, and some you need to customise as per your requirements.

Why I am suggesting you to think well before selecting a POS, from our earlier experience with customers, most of them not happy with ready available POS, as they can’t customise as per change to the business requirements. It is possible to find a good one as per your requirements which is less expensive as well as increase the profits of your business. Become the leader in your business by choosing perfect software for your point of sales with inventory management and financial accounting integration.

Major 3 objectives of POS solutions are
1) Save time
2) Provide improved control over sales
3) Provide improved service to customers

However most of these solutions available in market, may involve high cost of ownership, complex setup, and rigorous training requirements. So you have to make sure whether your selection removes these barriers with an easy to use, customisable and affordable solution.
