'Software created for most business requirements'

By implementing Reusable Code we can create new applications from existing software that suits current requirements although it may differ from that which it was initially created for.

Over the years we have written many forms of business applications and created a library of these software projects. During the development of the various systems we discovered ways of doing things better the next time round which led onto methods that allow the reuse of existing program code.

REUSABLE CODE TECHNIQUES
There is a surprising amount of 'overlap' from one application to another, where parts of one system are very similar to that used for another, although perhaps not apparently or cosmetically so but this helps to cut development time without cutting quality.

We initially began using COBOL in the 1970's and we continue to do so. COBOL has evolved and will do many things more than it did back in the early years, much more than many give it credit for. That said, one language is more suitable than another for specific applications, and we have added Visual Basic and others in recent years. Yet some techniques used in program design are very similar and important when considering inbuilt flexibility for future enhancements and updates that allow a system long life.
