Design services apply to the introduction and evolution of well-designed software with the quality attributes that will ensure its efficient development during the product life and its continued acceptance by the market and its users.

The services will apply when an organisation decides to apply these principles in the following situations:

• Development of a green field system
  
• Complete redesign of an existing system
  
• Wrapping of an existing system to interface with a new system

• Make use of emerging and maturing software development environments such as J2EE and .NET
  
• Use a range of development tools which may be open source

Examples of the areas of service are:

1. the adoption of the principles of object orientation in the development of software

2. use of modern analysis and design techniques in software development

3. the selection of a software development environment and development tools

4. the modelling of systems using graphical notations
