Designing software can be very expensive. Programmers can cost hundreds of dollars and hour and those hours will add up. This is a difficult cost to absorb for many companies’ research and development budgets. To make matters even worse it is hard to predict the success of a new software package. Lots of times it just flat out does not work, no matter how many man hours are put into it. Other times the market does not accept it and it fails to gain the popularity necessary for profitability. There is no way to predict what products are going to be successful no matter what resources are poured into them and no matter how good they look on paper.
