Registration required, so I've made a local
copy<http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/wand/private/business-benefits-of-static-analysis-2008.pdf>.
The actual report is all old news (you can safely skip ahead to page 9 or
13), but it's interesting that an interesting set of partners: a British(?)
IT consultancy, IBM, and DrDobbs Journal(!) are pushing this.  (Or at least
they think it will intrigue enough people to make it worth their while to
push it).

Software can kill. We are all pretty much aware of this fact for the
software that controls planes, missiles and medical equipment. But what if
it is a business that is at stake? Should we not also expect business and
security-critical software applications to have strong code quality
reviewing processes? In this whitepaper, Bola Rotibi, a Principal Analyst
from Macehiter Ward-Dutton, explains how static analysis is a proven
technique to significantly improve code quality.  She also provides some
practical guidelines to help companies select a static analysis tool.
Employing static analysis to identify defects during the coding phase is a
winning strategy. Financial savings, improved software quality and
maintenance cost reductions all flow from the early identification and
removal of software defects.
