There is a constant need for new systems and new software.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
One of the biggest problems that software developers face is that technology changes rapidly. It is very hard to stay current.
Computers have become more friendly, understandable, and lots of years and thought have been put into developing software to convince people that they want and need a computer.
In short, software is eating the world.
It's a big, big advantage because understanding what changes we might make takes time and it takes time to work out settings and to understand everything about the new machine.
I want to see us remain convinced that software matters in the future.
Software as an asset isn't stable over time; it needs to be maintained.
We're entering a new world in which data may be more important than software.
The long and short of it is, we need more rigor in all kinds of programs.
Most of the effort in the software business goes into the maintenance of code that already exists.
From day one our next generation system will run all our exsisting software - so that gives us a head start.
