If we find that security patches or functionality upgrades are required, we will be able to perform the actions with minimal effort from users. Developing applications and application development tools centrally will provide Engineering with a professional solution to more efficiently provide services that are now provided in an ad-hoc fashion by people who are better at doing other things. We would provide what we find Engineering needs. Priorities will need to be established, but we can provide the greatest efficiency gains by creating tools that will save many groups from the cost of individually creating the same tools.
