  • Software Business: a Short History and Trends for the Future 
    18 Software Business: A Short History and Trends for the Future KATARIINA YRJÖNKOSKI, Tampere University, HANNU JAAKKOLA, University of Lapland, KARI SYSTÄ, Tampere University, TOMMI MIKKONEN, University of Helsinki, JAAK HENNO, Tallinn University of Technology During its 70 years of existence, the software business has been following an evolution curve that can be considered typical for several fields of industrial businesses. Technological breakthroughs and innovations are typically seen as enablers for business evolution in the domain of technology and innovation management. Software, data collection, and data analysis represent a greater and greater part of the value of products and services, and today, their role is also becoming essential in more traditional fields. This, however, requires business and technology competences that traditional industries do not have. The transformation also enables new ways of doing business and opens the field for new kinds of players. Together, all this leads to transformation and new possibilities for the software industry. In this paper we study the overall trajectory of the software business, and then offer some viewpoints on the change in different elements of business models. 1. INTRODUCTION Software development and the software business have evolved over the past decades. There have been major changes on just about every level of operations. The most well-known change concerning development work is from linear development models like waterfall to agile and lean software development and further to Continuous Deployment [Royce 1970; Olsson et al. 2012]. This change is driven by a better understanding of the difficulties of setting detailed requirements for abstract artifacts like software in advance.
