Challenges synthesis in R&D
To conclude, the main challenges in interoperability in R&D for software’s publisher are resumed as following:
Systematic challenges:
- Skills availability
- Development costs
- Tests costs
- Support costs
Potential challenges:
- Availability of test platforms for cloud-based solutions
- Availability of test platforms configured for heavy solutions
- High complexity level in the case where you have to support numerous combinable technologies
- Increased difficulties of exposure, especially in the "API" mode which requires a very specific technical know-how and a rigorous industrial software release process.
