Software reuse is more than just creating and/or obtaining workproducts for/from a public domain. In order to get economic benefits, it requires upfront investment and sustained effort. More than any particular technology, the consensus between producers and consumers of reusable workproducts is essential for success.
Hewlett-Packard Analytical Products Group (APG) has made a two year investment in software reuse and is beginning to see economic benefit from this program. We are prepared to sustain that effort.
