Giorgio Buccilli On Line - The Business Of Software - software dis-integration

Componentware means software designed to work as components for larger applications.

Like in the PC, that is built from keyboard, monitor, mouse, etc.

In componentware, because the interfaces between modules are standardized, it is possible to mix software from different providers. Componentware is changing the dynamics of the business of software.

Some software companies see it as an opportunity; SAP for example, plans to split its monolithic solution into components that will facilitate the integration of third party components. Other software companies see componentware as a threat, as it could make the entrance barrier lower and the life easier for newcomers. ]]> http://www.giorgiobuccilli.com/2008/09/software-dis-integration/feed/ 0
