Developers Survey Reveals Enterprise Commitment to C++
Rogue Wave Software, specialists in enterprise class C++ components and infrastructure, has announced the results of a global survey of software developers to determine the role C++ based applications will play in their future IT plans.
Given that service-oriented architecture (SOA) spending is expected to grow 60 percent per year, Rogue Wave conducted the survey to determine how C++ applications figured into SOA migration plans. The survey revealed that while most companies using C++ applications are enthusiastic about the future plans for existing C++ applications, there is no consistent approach to migrating those apps to an SOA.
According to the research, most companies are committed to enhancing their C++ apps; C++ apps have equal footing in SOA strategies. Several respondents noted the importance C++ plays for their IT strategy, including the need to run faster. There is movement in a few areas to replace C++ with Java or .NET, but most of the apps require more time considerations and processing efficiency than either can do.
