The amount of software in many electronic products is growing rapidly. Two examples: the amount of software in a mobile phone is expected to increase from 2 million today to 20 million in 2010. The amount of software in a car in 2010 is expected to be 100 million lines of source code (Charrette, 2005). Many companies see their business change from a hardware business to a software business. The impact on companies goes far beyond development and development processes. Adoption of proper software sales and legal processes is as important. The presentation is based on research into the software business and 10 years of experience in managing software companies.
