"STRENGTHS creating OPPORTUNITIES";"WEAKNESSES preventing OPPORTUNITIES" "Knowledge about the diverse software solutions is used to develop a detection system for low-threshold access to available subject-specific research tools and services;Close ties to the expert communities exist. They serve the further development of needs-based research tools and services together with the participants of the forum;The consortium can draw on many years of experience in sustainable development. Paired with an increased willingness to professionalize software development a lean, efficient advisory body for sustainable software is facilitated;We can use our experience in low-threshold provision of software, enable greater accessibility and a much broader use.";"Due to lacking visibility of software, existing solutions are overlooked in funding proposals or research processes;We miss the chance for a greater acceptance of subject-specific software solutions because software is developed regardless of actual needs;Due to a lack of know-how regarding the development of sustainable software, we miss out on the opportunity to professionalize software development;We miss the chance for appropriate technologies to be available for different usage scenarios (e.g. cloud, server in the local data centre, individual) because some software types are difficult to install and operate" "STRENGTHS minimizing RISKS";"STRATEGIES avoiding RISKS" "We can use our knowledge of diverse software solutions, our experience in low threshold provision and the close ties to the community to minimize the risks of being unable to reuse software;We can use our contacts in the software industry to develop software packages externally if necessary. Subsequently, we can minimize the risk of unfinished (part) projects due to a lack of staff;Through our close ties to the community we minimize the risk of developing software which does not meet the needs";"A consistent examination and evaluation of relevant software reduces the risk of producing redundant software;Recourse to external software developers potentially prevents unfinished projects due to a lack of staff;We consciously involve researchers in the development of software solutions to avoid developing software which does not meet the needs of the community;The comprehensive use of technologies which facilitate simple use and access of software counter the risk of a low reuse of software"
