"According to John C. Dale, MS MIS, president of Growing Business
Solutions, for firms providing software development outsourcing
services, the practice of software reuse can reduce overhead and
increase margins.
Currently, an alarming number of enterprise software development
projects are over budget, delivered late, or both. As software
development organizations mature, so too should their ability to
deliver increasingly complex software solutions on time and on
budget. One strategy for achieving this is to identify opportunities
for software reuse. In traditional manufacturing nomenclature, this
process would be expressed as "manufacturing efficiency" or "economy
of scale."
In this article, Dale discusses one way in which open source J2EE
Security Realms can be used to facilitate code reuse - and thus
manufacturing efficiency - into the enterprise software manufacturing
process.
Subsequently, enterprise software development firms who employ this
methodology should expect to deliver software with greater efficiency
and predictability at a lower cost."
