Software boom grows from 270 million to 3.5 billion by 1985
The software industry expands rapidly as firms estimate costs differently and top management orders in-house versus external bids. Frost & Sullivan projects growth to 3.5 billion annually by 1985, with 1976 revenue near 800 million and 1973 at 270 million. Examples include individuals who built payroll and library indexing systems and a bank choosing external over in-house options.
