A growing number of capital projects, like a motorway tunnel or a specialised MRI scanner, needs software to make it a useful investment. To determine the investments in time, money and resources a number of key cost-drivers is essential:
- Delivery schedule
 - Productivity
 - Size of the software
 - Required resource effort
 - Quality
 
Each of these key cost-drivers has its own merits that should be taken into account to make the right decisions on how to integrate software in capital projects.
