The strategic challenge for businesses is not just teaching the camera to “see” a defect; it is teaching the ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) or CRM … Read more
The most sobering reality in technology is the maintenance paradox: initial software development costs typically account for only 10% to 30% of the project’s lifetime budget. The remaining 70% to 90% is consumed by the Maintenance Phase over the product’s lifespan. The Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is the blueprint to reverse this trend. A … Read more
