You need to deliver applications fast, to stay ahead of the competition

Your business relies on your application delivery proficiency. You need to deliver applications that set you ahead of your competition, in time to take business advantage. Using pre-built software components and turning original code into components, industry experts agree that Component-Based Development (CBD) significantly reduces development cycle time and costs. Simply put, CBD applies the best practices of many other engineering industries to software development. CBD will also help you leverage scarce resources. But how can you publish a library of software components and ensure that:

Developers who need components can find them easily and cost effectively?
Your existing intranet can be used as the portal for component and web service reuse?
Access to your valuable software component assets is managed and audited?
A scalable reuse solution is provided, while holding valuable components on-site?
