Dragging Software Development into the 21st Century

Companies spend billions of dollars every year on developing their own software applications or purchasing complex enterprise software applications. This includes not only the cost of software, but the hardware infrastructure required to support the software as well. Rather than spending this money on software development, a company should put it to better use to improve the core business of the company. That is, the company should be focusing on what it is that they are really in business for rather then being distracted by software development.

Current software development practices for enterprise applications often result in products that are too expensive to develop, acquire, implement, integrate and then maintain. The typical software development cycle starts with a base product that is developed and subsequently sold, if external, or delivered, if internal, to a client. If the base product is lacking in functionality, then additional modifications must be made to the base product, adding to the cost of development. Once modifications have been completed, the implementation and integration phase starts. This phase has high costs associated with it; usually surrounding customization in order to get the software to interface with existing legacy systems. Finally, annual maintenance and service fess are charged, which usually do not include future upgrades. Clients are frequently less than happy with the results. The software development entity is often unaware that the client is not happy until the next development cycle is well under way, at which point it is too late and too expensive to address the problems. This results in an endless cycle where the software developed for a client continuously lags behind the client’s actual needs. Financial and human resources, which could be used too much greater effect elsewhere, are absorbed into a cycle that could be avoided altogether.
