Description

An important driver for mash-ups is the advent of Web 2.0 concepts that encourage software creators to expose their applications as sets of reusable services. The theory is that you can be much more valuable to the rest of the world if your software can be reused in unintended ways. In other words, don't just provide a fully created end-product for one pre-intended use. Encourage others use the good pieces of what you provide in new and innovative ways.

-. Increase in rate of change, and corresponding expectations Business software is expected to react

Inhibitors
