clarify the word "component"
clarify the word "component"
(OP)
Hi there,
We supply a monitoring system to our client that has hardware and software as part of our complete scope.
When looking at the term "component" is this to be understood as designating exclusively "hardware" or can this designate "software" as well?
Thanks for your insight

Software can easily be recognised as being a component of a system.
sub-pieces of the software system can be called many things ... module, component, element, widgit, ...

RE: clarify the word "component"
On the contrary, I think it's an old word which has always had a broad meaning. As with many words, different communities have tried to claim ownership and restrict its meaning to match their own understanding. When you do that, it comes as a shock when you discover that the word still means all these other things as well.
