Now, technology allows us to cheaply store and replicate past work on demand. By componentizing previous work so it can be reused without additional effort, we avoid the cost of repeating that work. Mass customization software products are quickly built up by knowledgeable workers who piece together individual software components to automate unique and complex business processes for specific customers. The speed and lower cost of componentized design, development, manufacturing and long-term maintenance have altered the way we think about efficiency. More than ever before, knowledge and intellectual assets contribute value to today's business operations.
Physical assets are far less important.
The economy is driven by information technologies that compel us to replace mass production with mass customization. Integrated Design provides mass customization software that connects one automated business process with other disparate applications within an enterprise. Since 1985, Integrated Design has developed deep intercompany collaborations with its business partners. Then they assemble these components to interconnect applications and support the end user's business practices. Integrated Design also maintains the mass-customization system to incorporate software updates in and between the integrated applications.
