Component-based software is becoming increasingly popular as a means to create value through improved integration across multiple parts of a plant or business. However, sometimes components that are supposed to be integrated cannot be integrated in the same way that the user envisions at time of acquiring the component. Certification of components is one way of ensuring that components adhere to certain standards for integration. This study presents findings from two case studies assessing the value of one particular certification program from ABB, called Industrial IT Enabled. A method for facilitating complex decision-making, Incomplete Pairwise Comparison (IPC), has been used to identify the relative value of Industrial IT Enabled for customers, as well as for ABB itself. Results indicate that the certification provides practically significant added value to customers, as well as to ABB. It is believed that these results, to some extent, can be valid in other similar certification programs.
