Software Services

Software companies are often required to deliver software on different operating systems, databases, platforms, or processor architectures. Software initially made available on a single platform can quickly see demand for support on multiple platforms because of:

• Growing popularity of a particular platform
• Shifts in target customer segments for additional sales
• Requirements that could not be fulfilled initially due to resource constraints
• New operating systems and compiler releases
• Strategic integration with a compatible third party software that runs on a platform not yet supported

Software porting thus becomes an important part of the lifecycle of most successful software products. It is important that software porting projects are planned, managed, and executed carefully to ensure ease of future maintainability. A porting project can also be an opportunity to improve product quality, flexibility, and performance. With careful planning, these extras can frequently be realized with little or no additional cost or time.
