Is there a business in recasting software from one domain to another?
As a software developer, one thing that bothers me is when I see quality software in one domain that seems to be a good starting point for solving problems in another. For example, a nursing home patient management solution that could be a good starting point for school/student management. Another example might be a secondary ticket marketplace that could be the basis for Affordable Care Act state insurance marketplaces.
Understandably, the companies developing the source packages are reticent to take focus off their primary businesses to even consider my 'recasting' proposals. So any solution to this would have to be super easy and effortless for them.
Anyone else ever think about this?
