“…Then, we use them as the basis for analyzing the economic value of an RA (i.e., valuation) that is adapted by an organization in the pursuit of its business strategies. Thus, our work aligns with Erdogmus et al vision on economic activities in software industry, that fall into 4 levels: metrics, cost-benefit analysis, valuation and business strategy [13].…”

Abstract. To remain competitive, organizations are challenged to make informed and feasible value-driven design decisions in order to ensure the quality of their software systems. However, there is a lack of support for evaluating the economic impact of these decisions with regard to software reference architectures. This damages the communication among architects and management, which can result in poor decisions. This paper aims at ameliorating this problem by presenting a pragmatic preliminary economic model to perform cost-benefit analysis on the adoption of software reference architectures as a key asset for optimizing architectural decision-making. The model is based on existing value-based metrics and economics-driven models used in other areas. A preliminary validation based on a retrospective study showed the ability of the model to support a cost-benefit analysis presented to the management of an IT consulting company. This validation involved a cost-benefit analysis related to reuse and maintenance; other qualities will be integrated as our research progresses.

“…Five Forces analysis is performed as a precursor to Value Chain Analysis. Erdogmus et al [95] similarly recognize that the highest level of economic analysis of software engineering investment is business strategy followed by valuation, which is described as 'analyzing the economic value of projects executed in the pursuit of that business strategy'. In contrast, e 3 -Value includes no strategy analysis prior to value analysis.…”

“…Note that when aiming at exact ROI measurements other factors such as time (e.g. Net Present Value) and risk discount should also be considered (Erdogmus et al, 2004). However, these factors were discarded because the risk discount was not possible to account for, and since the ROI in this case study was measured already within a few months after the investment was made, the Net Present Value would have had a negligible impact.…”
