Achieving Better Buying Power for Mobile Open Architecture Software Systems through Diverse Acquisition Scenarios

Abstract

This research seeks to identify, track, and analyze software components costs and cost reduction opportunities within diverse acquisition life cycle scenarios for open architecture systems accommodation web-base and mobile devices where such systems combine best-of-breed software components and software products lines subject to different intellectual property license and cybersecurity requirements. Most large-scale business enterprises continually seek new ways to improve the functional capabilities of their software-intensive systems through lower acquisition costs. The acquisition of open architecture (OA) systems that can adapt and evolve through replacement of functionally similar web-based and mobile devices base software components and software product lines (SPLs) is an innovation that can lead to lower cost systems acquisition, development and deployment are thus seen as an approach to realizing Better Buying Power (BPP) goals for lowering systems cost while jointly improving competition, adoption of OA systems that utilize standardized interfaces, and opportunities, use of technical development phase for true risk reduction and rapid prototyping, as well as doing more without more
