Understand that technology should enable. Accept the indisputable fact that technology should be an enabler, rather than a disabler. Make modern technology work for you and your business. "Use it and don't lose it!"
Modern commercial and industrial organizations form a complex network of inter-related businesses evolving cooperatively and competitively. The challenge for IT, and for Software and System Engineering in particular, is to be able to support this evolutionary change economically and reliably.

A major problem is the extent to which IT is a disabler of business process change, when in fact it should be an enabler. This problem arises when the changes required by the business processes are made too expensive by the sheer size and complexity of the already installed IT. These so-called legacy systems, which have been essential to the support of the business process, comprise computers, programs, databases, networking and much more.

In order to make further improvements to the business process, substantial progress needs to be made in understanding the way in which business processes are supported by these systems. If the relationship between the business process and the system that supports it is better understood, then it may be possible to make substantial improvements to the cost of changing that business process and the systems that support it.

For the past 40 years, developers rather than users have dominated the techniques, processes and methods of software development. To achieve the levels of functionality, flexibility and time to market required by users, a radical shift is required in the development of software, with a more demand-centric view leading to software, which will be delivered as a service within the framework of an open marketplace. OpenFLEX, Inc has adopted this approach.
