Business: Software Development is Dead
Denver, CO (PRWeb) March 19, 2007 -- Business is angry at technology departments and consulting firms for failing to deliver solutions that meet the requirements, time constraints, and allocated budget. More than three years of ongoing discussion and debate at rhythmiQ.com reveals that anger and frustration toward the broken paradigm of software development runs deep, particularly among business stakeholders.
According to rhythmiQ President Mike Meadows, "Business and technology speak two different languages, so friction is the natural consequence." Stakeholders, eager to leverage technology to streamline process and tap new revenue streams, dream up concepts. Technology gurus, excited to meet the challenge, realize the concepts. Rarely, however, do the realities match the visions.
Testing uncovers hundreds or thousands of defects. Analysts attempt to clarify the needs of the business for the developers. Irritated developers fix their code, causing more defects. There is a relentless churn through a cycle of testing, clarification, and defect resolution until the budget can't take it anymore. The business compromises the vision for an application that is not perfect, but will get the job done.
"The crisis mandates that we look at the software development life cycle from a fresh angle," says Mike Meadows. "In the current methodology, business generates requirements and then technology creates solutions. Flip it upside down: business needs the ability to create solutions first and then effectively communicate requirements to technology."
The paralysis is curable. It is possible for business and technology to have a relationship that fosters the harmonious achievement of unified goals and success. All that is required is a long, hard look at how things have been done for years and asking, "Is there a better way?"
rhythmiQ was founded in 2004 to put the power of building applications back into the hands of the users who benefit from using them. InfinityGL, rhythmiQ's flagship product, lets users build relational, data-driven Web applications without writing a single line of code.

As an internet design specialist, I must say that everyone who owns a computer must have anti virus software.
