Work flow software is an all world supply chain. That means you can have one company

set up in one part of the world and another set up in another part of the world. One company will be

over one aspect of a project and they will be able to send what they have accomplished to the other

company. 


                  When a video game developer begins a new project they will have different smaller

developers set up all around the world.  One developer will be over the game engine, one over the art

art of the game, one over the level structure, one over the story and so on until all aspects of the game

are covered.  With the work flow software those developers are able to send their work to the other

developers.  By doing this all the developers can be on the same page.  When all the developers are

done with their assigned duties they can send the game out to manufacturers or the digital distribution

sites.

                    Open source software is when you contribute or re write a program to make it better.  I

think that open source software is important because there is always going to be someone that is

going to be able make it better.  Maybe you have a program that is not user friendly someone can

come in and redo it and make it easier to use.

                      Outsourcing is using other companies or countries that can do the work better at a

cheaper cost.  Outsourcing is important because it can better develop an under developed country by

sending them work ad that country can do it better and cheaper.
