Demand Software As A Service With A Composite
Twist
by: Richard Yawn
The ability to setup websites with content has been
available and accepted for several years. There are also
successful online CRM vendors. In addition, there are good
solutions available for setting up store fronts and auctions.
These types of solutions are software as a service, in many
cases on demand, and in some cases they are composite to
varying degrees. Some of the drivers for these types of
solutions include quick availability and in many cases low cost
- especially when in comparison to custom development.
For the past several years composite software has been
developed that provides the ability to compose business
solutions from web services very quickly. The author prefers to
reference these solutions as macro composite. A more complete
reference on this topic can be reviewed at
http://www.compositesw.com/whatiseii/. Macro composition is
viable due to the ability to assist low cost and provide
architectures that reduce maintenance issues. The emphasis of
macro composition is orchestrating existing functionality and
seldom addresses the underlying micro composition of the
business solution.
So, what is the business driver? Websites that produce
websites usually provide static content with very little data
capture. Businesses, however, also require websites with
functionality and the data that is a result of that
functionality. If there is not a predefined solution to satisfy
that functionality, then custom development is usually
required. In most cases custom development increases cost,
takes longer to deliver, and is not easy to change. The
business driver is flexible and quick delivery at a low
cost.
So, what is the business need? At times there is the need
for a disposable solution, which is only cost effective if
provided quickly. In addition, there is also the need to
provide long term solutions for complaint capture, workflow,
which may include maintenance, purchase, or sales orders. Then,
there are all of those other unique solutions that small
businesses require. The business need is all of those business
solutions that are not available through existing software as a
service.
This leads into what the author refers to as micro
composite. The ability to quickly define new solutions, promote
existing solutions, or change solutions to solve business
needs. This service is available through an on demand and
composite software as a service provider. For a comprehensive
representation of this, please see
