Description
FEATURES OF PS

the complexity of the system needed. This fee is made up of a base fee for software, integration and
services and annual licensing/support fees.

more flexibility while investing in R&D in order to regularly propose new products and upgrades.
Proprietary software providers have online user communities that create value by sharing new ideas,
strategies and best practices through feedback mechanisms such as forums and surveys, which also
foster innovation and let the product to adapt with changing needs.
4-Security: There is always a debate on security. A lot of proprietary software based developed from
proprietary operating systems are perceived comparatively less secure to those from OSS. But the
total solution from proprietary software is viewed as secure as it is developed in a controlled
environment by a concentrated team with a common direction.
5-Usability: Proprietary software normally employs expert usability testing, and as the software is
usually aimed at a more targeted audience, and therefore further tailored, usability is generally
ranked quite high.
6-Standards: Describes the software interfaces, protocols and electronic formats that are developed
by and controlled by a given company and have not been made freely accessible for adoption by the
industry.
7-Availability: These are available from their respected companies that own the rights to the
packages. Sometimes, trial versions are available for free download and testing.
8-Transparency: PS does not present an open look to the internal structure. Only user interfaces are
provided to work with it. User cannot know the internal processing and other details.
9-Reliability: PS is developed by specialized teams at vendors end only. Only finished products are
provided at outlets. Since there is no unauthenticated modification, the result is always reliable.
