6. What is a strategy for incorporating third-party controls over a period of time? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Incorporating third-party controls and components early on involves cost and little reuse. Plan on little benefit over the first few months and possibly the first year or two. In time, reuse of the control will increase the return on investment substantiallyand incrementally, as increases in technology, competition, and upgrades of the controls reduce the increase of returns on investment. |
