Part 1: The "Old" Way

Nuway's founders have worked in all aspects of software development:

Contractors for professional services companies

In-house development team

Independent consultants evaluating vendors & professional service

companies

We've seen it all, and haven't liked what we've seen. There is something

fundamentally wrong with the current way software is being built:

In this environment software is written as quickly as possible. Very often

shortcuts with short-term gain and long-term pain and are taken. This creates

a messy, difficult code base on which the solution will rely. Since customers

typically never look under the hood to see the code, they have no idea how

poorly things are running.

Software always meets the

user's needs

Software could be easily

Software could be built

faster

mistakes of the last decade

and take a different path to

avoid them

Later, when business needs change, the software changes are extremely

expensive to implement in lieu of the amount of code that must be rewritten.

The suggested solution? A complete rewrite. So who benefits from this short

to cryptic solutions that only the original author understands. In developer

circles this is often seen as job security: "I can't be laid off if no one else can

change my code."
