Using components reduces the amount of new code that you must write to bring up a new application.
Using components frees you to concentrate more on getting a good application design, less time worrying about low-level details.
The components have all been thoroughly tested and are highly reliable. Using components should therefore eliminate errors in the kinds of tasks components handle, freeing you to focus on the really important errors: the ones in your application code!
All components have been designed with the kind of efficiency in mind that C++ programmers demand from the language itself.
Since 1987, C++ Standard Components has been used in building real systems in many different industries and enterprises. Over this time, the tools and components have evolved in direct response to the needs and concerns expressed by its customers.
