Component
Directions 98
Where
Software Development is Going...
December
9-11, 1997
Navy Pier · Chicago, Illinois
In a fast-moving
world where IS organizations struggle to meet
spiraling demands for new mission-critical
applications, component-based software is the
answer for building and deploying
applications
on time, on budget, with less
hassle. Components have emerged as the new
software development paradigm for corporations
who need fast development of reliable
applications. By leveraging parts of existing
applications and systems, combined with easily
manageable pieces of software, delivery cycles
are dramatically cut for deployment and budgets
stay intact.
Component-based
software technology is revolutionizing the way
developers think about software. Its
changing the way applications are created,
revised and used. Development teams and IS
organizations can't afford to contract experts
for every new application request or upgrade. But
now, by integrating component software in their
projects, development teams can purchase the
"expertise" of the best programmers in
the world and plug-in a proven, tested
multi-platform software architecture.
Component
