Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall Chapter 2 The Sources of Software 2.1

Learning Objectives Understand Outsourcing Describe six different sources of software Discuss how to evaluate off-the-shelf software Discuss reuse and its role in software development Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 2.2

Outsourcing  Practice of turning over some or all responsibility for information systems applications and operations to another firm.  Examples:  Outsourcing firm develops and runs applications on their computers (Payroll application)  Outsourcing firm runs applications at your site on your computers.  Reasons to outsource  Cost effective  Overcome organizational problems in information systems unit  Outsourcing should be considered during systems analysis Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 2.3

Sources of Software  Information Technology Service Firms  Utilized when  Organization lacks resources to develop in-house system  Suitable off-the-shelf solution is not available  Help companies develop custom information systems for internal use  Develop, host and run applications  Provide other services  IT Service firms employ consultants with domain-specific experience Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 2.4

Sources of Software (Continued)  Packaged Software Producers  Produce pre-packed or off the shelf systems  Products range from broad-based packages to industry specific packages  Two types of software  Turnkey – cannot be modified to meet specific users needs  Non-turnkey – can be modified  Off-the-shelf software can meet up to 70% of an organization’s needs. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 2.5

Sources of Software (Continued)  Enterprise Solutions Software  Also called Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Systems  Consist of a series of integrated modules  Each module supports individual traditional business function  Accounting  Distribution  Manufacturing  Human Resources  Integrated to focus on business processes rather than business functional areas  Enables an organization to integrate all parts of a business process in a unified information system  All aspects of a transaction occur seamlessly in single information system Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 2.6

Sources of Software (Continued)  Benefits  Single repository for all aspects of a business process  Ensures more consistent and accurate data  Less maintenance  Flexibility of modules  Additional modules can be added as needed  Additional modules are immediately integrated into existing system Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

Sources of Software ERP Systems (Continued)  Disadvantages  Complexity of implementation  Extended implementation time  Reliance upon consultants  Often, organizations must change the way that they do business in order to use systems  ERP vendors  SAP (R3, B1)  Oracle (acquired Peoplesoft) Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 2.8

Sources of Software (Continued)  Application Service Providers and Managed Software Providers  Application Service Providers (ASP)  License software to organizations  Applications are run at ASP site by organization  Mostly commercial applications, such as Oracle or Microsoft  Organizations pay per-use or monthly  Managed Software Providers  Customized applications  Business processes  Engineering  Security  Maintenance  By 2010, analysts predict that 80% of corporate applications will be hosted  WHY DO YOU THINK Hosted SOFTWARE WILL BE THIS POPULAR? Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 2.9

Sources of Software ASP and MSP (Continued)  Reasons to use a provider  Frees internal IT staff  Quicker access to applications than in-house development  Lower-cost access to corporate-quality applications Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 2.10

Sources of Software (Continued)  Open-Source Software  Freely available  Includes source-code  Maintained by a group of interested individuals  Some examples  Linux  Firefox  mySQL Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 2.11

Sources of Software (Continued)  In-House Development  Complete system  Hybrid systems Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 2.12

Choosing Off-the-Shelf Software  Criteria  Cost  In-house versus purchase  Functionality  Vendor Support  Viability of Vendor  Flexibility  Documentation  Response Time  Ease of Installation Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 2.13

Validating Purchased Software Information  Information from vendor  Documentation  Marketing literature  Questionnaire  Request for Proposal  Software Test drive  Feedback from other users  Independent software testing services  Trade Journals Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 2.14

Reuse  Use of previously written software resources in new applications  Most often applied to object-oriented and component-based development  Reuse of object classes  Increases productivity  Reduces defect density  Reduces rework  Reuse plan must be matched with companies strategic business goals Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 2.15

Reuse (Continued)  Four Approaches 1.Ad hoc Reuse 2.Facilitated Reuse 3.Managed Reuse 4.Designed Reuse Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 2.16

Discussion Questions/Cases  Review the criteria for selecting off-the-shelf software presented in this chapter. Use your experience and imagination and describe other criteria that are or might be used to select off- the-shelf software in the real world. For each new criterion, explain how its use might be functional (i.e., it is useful to use this criterion), dysfunctional, or both. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 2.17

Discussion Questions/Cases  In the section on choosing off-the-shelf software, eight criteria are proposed for evaluating alternative packages. Suppose the choice was between alternative custom software developers rather than prewritten packages. What criteria would be appropriate to select and compare among competing bidders for custom development of an application? Define each of these criteria. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.
