Why the basic cost of software tools is so high?
Ans. Since these are not generic tools and required by a specialist for a specific application, which are limited as compared to generalized application, such as RDBMS etc.? Development cost is high, and the usage is limited. Limited usage makes the cost high including support and training. Scenario is changing fast even in the developing world, as RDBMS are in placed and organizations are now looking for scientific processes based decisions on Quantitative, Qualitative, Management, Simulation, Data Warehousing, OLAP and Data mining tools. The basic cost and availability of above tool is improving with pace of time.
