The objective of this white paper is to describe the software development challenge and clarify its root causes. The first half of the document explains the market challenge and why this is a tough business issue. This part is widely applicable by anyone interested in software development and is not dependent on our offering. In the second half of the document we explain how SoftFluent addresses the challenge through its CodeFluent Entities model-first software factory and associated methodology.
