"For many years the lack of readily available benchmark data blinded software developers and managers to the real economics of software. Now that ISBSG is making data on thousands of projects available to the software industry, it is becoming possible to make solid business decisions about software development practices and their results in terms of productivity and quality, ISBSG data is a valuable asset for the software industry and for all companies that produce software."..Capers Jones

“ISBSG data is the best option
for validating your estimates
of time and quality for software development and maintenance.”
David Garmus

open large scale data repository

"For Sogeti it’s crucial to compare
our M&S performance against the
ISBSG data. Only after comparing
to the industry, we know if our
maintenance activities have been
carried out in an efficient way. This knowledge enables us to identify the applications where corrective actions
could be needed. Also it hands us the possibility to show the customers that their applications are managed in an efficient way, which increases
predictability and transparency and therefore our most important metric: customer satisfaction."
Harold Van Heeringen, Sogeti
