Book Description
Maintenance costs for client/server
software are often the single largest expense for companies. This guide focuses on simple ways to cut these costs that every shop can implement. Guidance on analysis, design, development, testing, and implementation provides clear direction on how to control costs and solve
software management problems. Valuable reports from the first research conducted on Fortune 500
software maintenance practices are included.
Card Catalog Description
This book provides a wealth of practical help, as it presents a systematic strategic framework for controlling costs, avoiding common problems, and optimizing user support. Readers will also learn how to weigh proposed client/server system additions and changes based on their likely
software maintenance impact. Here are simple, straightforward solutions that every IS and/or systems manager can readily implement for virtually every type of network configuration. All technical sections include illustrative examples and "executive sidebars" that will provide even non-technical personnel with a better strategic understanding of the issues. Plenty of real-world examples of client/server and
software maintenance solutions and a summary of the first research into the maintenance practices of Fortune 500 companies add further value.
