 | This article appears to contain a large number of buzzwords. (July 2011) |
The reuse of Intellectual Property (IP) assets (also known as Software Assets[1]) is a strategy that many, in particular IT, companies are pursuing.[2][3]
The strategy for reusing non-IT related assets is called Asset recovery. However, the term recovery is not being applied to Intellectual Property (IP) assets.[4][5]
These IP assets (or software assets) can be defined as (see Forrester [6]): Internally developed or acquired software artifacts that IT services vendors use to automate a particular business process or aspect of product development for a range of clients. Software assets provide 30% to 90% of the solution that the client is looking for and are reused across multiple engagements.
Benefits for the client
Amongst other benefits, the key advantages of reusing assets are:
- Increase delivery efficiency
- Innovate from a higher level
- Use best practices
- Reduce risk
- Offer wider array of flexible solutions.
Requirements
In order to implement Asset Reuse within a major company, it takes at least:
- a system where to store and retrieve relevant assets
- a management system to handle the asset management
- a communication set-up to promote the reuse of piled up assets.
Implications
Till now a number of companies have tried to implement asset reuse. However, common implications are:
- the use of more than one asset repository
- the operation model: set-up, funding, and maintenance of the required asset management system including success tracking over a long time
- permanent cross-company communication of the asset management system strategy and its latest elements
