Abstract

Times change and so do business requirements: Within the years the requirements to do business have changed and got even more complex. Thus the companies’ structures have to respond to these new situations with changing the way they are doing business. Traditional structures are no longer appropriate. Therefore a business reengineering is normally not enough. A software reengineering is also necessary to support the business processes in the best way. Business Software is here the key. This paper presents the paradigm change from monolithic standalone software to business software that ideally supports the business processes and thus helps streamlining the processes. It fosters the implementation of the term business software, especially in the technical area and describes the underlying software architecture. Furthermore the advantages of business software are outlined within the automotive industry.
