Lower Your Cost of Computer Technology Ownership

Published on December 8, 2009 By admin

IT System manufacturers typically attach a lifecycle somewhere between six months and one year to their computer technology products. After this period, the manufacturers will discontinue these products in an effort to make room for the newest in cutting edge technology. These products are often not compatible with existing technology, which is both frustrating and expensive for businesses and individual end users. Many organizations and individuals are now turning towards computer secondary market providers and partners to help alleviate this problem.

Short computer product lifecycles affect enterprises and the public sector on many levels and at many stages, including planning, buying, upgrading, and accessorizing an IT infrastructure.
Organizations within the computer secondary market are catering to the end users, both business and the public, in an effort to help to extend the life of computer and other technology products, Sometimes life spans on technology products will be extended by as much as three fold, which obviously has huge implications to the bottom line of those making IT investments.

Software Maintenance Implications on Cost and Schedule

Published on October 13, 2009 By admin

Abstract

The dictionary defines maintenance as, “The work of keeping something in proper order.” However, this definition does not necessarily fit for software. Software maintenance is different from hardware maintenance because software doesn’t physically wear out, but often gets less useful with age. Software is typically delivered with undiscovered flaws. Therefore, software maintenance is: “The process of modifying existing operational software while leaving its primary functions intact.” Maintenance typically exceeds fifty percent of the systems’ life cycle cost . While software maintenance can be treated as a level of effort activity, there are consequences on quality, functionality, reliability, cost and schedule that can be mitigated through the use of parametric estimation techniques.

1. INTRODUCTION

One of the greatest challenges facing software engineers is the management of change control. It has been estimated that the cost of change control can be between 40% and 70% of the life cycle costs . Software engineers have hoped that new languages and new process would greatly reduce these numbers; however this has not been the case. Fundamentally this is because software is still delivered with a significant number of defects. Capers Jones estimates that there are about 5 bugs per Function Point created during Development . Watts Humphrey found “… even experienced software engineers normally inject 100 or more defects per KSLOC . Capers Jones says, “A series of studies the defect density of software ranges from 49.5 to 94.5 errors per thousand lines of code .” The purpose of this article is to first review the fundamentals of software maintenance and to present alternative approaches to estimating software maintenance. A key element to note is that development and management decisions made during the development process can significantly affect the developmental cost and the resulting maintenance costs.

Tips to Reduce Cost on a Notebook

Published on October 11, 2009 By admin

The technology used for manufacturing laptops and notebooks are advancing at a neck-breaking speed. Since companies are spending a fortune on the hi-tech research and development of the laptops, their prices can`t drop beyond a limit even if their sizes will. Laptops or notebooks are still being considered as high-end and expensive products. This article will guide you how to reduce you cost while buying a new notebook.

Here are some tips to consider for reducing the cost of that new notebook:

Overall Brand Quality:

Don`t compromise too much on this aspect. Bigger brands tend to offer better services. Hence, if you skimp on this aspect, then might have to take a big risk. However, there are some sites available on the internet that offers effective tools to find the best deal.

Processor:

It is always wise to pick the fasted processor. This is something you should never plan to upgrade later as doing so will require some addition cost. Compromising on this aspect is a bad idea as this has direct bearing on the speed of your work.

Memory:

You can save some money here because you can always upgrade the memory of your laptop as and when you need so. For example, getting 512 MB in the first memory slot (DIMM) will let you add an additional 512MB (in a second memory slot) later on for a total of 1GB, which means you will still make use of the 512MB that came with it.
