Reverse Engineering Outsourcing - A Growing Trend?
Many recent needs have put reverse engineering in the news, as today's engineers painstakingly disassemble, analyze, and re-create mission-critical components from ancient spacecraft and support systems.
For instance, engineers working on a particular problem learn their lessons, apply what they've learned to the solution, and move on. The lessons are retained by the group, but over time the group memory is lost. This has serious implications for commercial enterprises as well as government agencies.
Engineering managers are often reluctant to take engineers away from critical design projects that are timelined, to put them on reverse engineering projects. Now, they have the option of outsourcing the project to a reverse engineering specialist. Thus, a new breed of reverse engineering outsourcing vendors are cropping up!
