Product Evolution Explained
Illustrated below are classic product evolution curves which have been influenced by various development and management strategies. They provide a clear contrast in economic expectations due to upfront development costs, the rate at which revenues are generated, risk to market acceptance, repositioning costs, and finally a prediction of total return on investment.
The inflection points shown here indicate the various stages during a product's evolution. For this case study, only the stages on the Diamond Systems curve (purple) have been labeled. While the disciplines remain the same for the other curves, the DSC curve clearly demonstrates a number of compelling factors of being a total solution provider, most notably lower development costs, shorter time to market, and longer overall product lifecycle.
