White Paper by Cyber Group Focuses on the Software Lifecycle After Development
Cyber Group, Inc. today released a white paper, The 70% Solution; Fulfilling the Application Software Lifecycle, that reveals how even the most competent application software companies can unwittingly overlook significant portions of their products' lifecycle, resulting in constant under performance of their products and services. The paper reveals that the most cost-effective way for software development companies to optimize their products and services is to engage external experts to complete that portion of the software lifecycle that begins once the product enters the market.
 By partnering with experts whose core competencies are the 70% solutions, your costs go down, your profits go up, and you manifest a 100% win-win solution for yourself and your customers  | According to John Pillow, Cyber Group software engineering vice president of sales and marketing, "Most software developers are simply not interested in maintaining a product once they have developed it. Their primary expertise compels them to move on to developing newer products and services, and relying on someone else to worry about maintaining the software. In such situations, partnering with a technology expert whose core competencies comprise the maintenance end of the lifecycle often is the rational and only viable choice."
Given the negative ramifications that result when engineering resources are misallocated, the Cyber Group paper offers a framework for understanding the requirements for software engineering throughout the lifecycle of an application software product, system or service. In particular, throughout the course of engineering a software product from conception to market and into its twilight, the cost of designing and developing the software alone typically consumes only about 30% of the total engineering cost. The remaining and often neglected 70% of the effort and associated cost are attributed to maintenance, enhancement, re-engineering, migration, continued testing and deployment. Many companies that produce software products and services wrongly assume that the lifecycle is complete as soon as the product or services enter the market. In fact, in-market existence comprises the majority of the lifecycle of a software product or service and must be competently maintained in order to manifest the product's full capability and return on investment.
"By partnering with experts whose core competencies are the 70% solutions, your costs go down, your profits go up, and you manifest a 100% win-win solution for yourself and your customers," concludes co-author Shishir Madhugiri, Cyber Group Senior Program Manager, Dallas.
