Software Hot-house specialises in rapid product development and will typically undertake projects on a shared risk/reward basis. A typical project will consist of an extension to an existing product range - in which one or more members of Software Hot-house has particular experience. This enables existing equipment vendors to broaden their product offerings and increase their revenues without having to make the mistakes that a new entrant to the extended product area will typically make. By offsetting development costs against a share of future royalties, the risk involved in projects can be minimized whilst ensuring that all parties strive to deliver the best possible product - a factor so often missing in many simple outsourcing arrangements.
