AniBlurbs (Column)

After my previous pagemark a few days ago to an article and discussion on ReadWriteWeb regarding virtualisation and “the cloud” (Yes, I know I’ve made a promise there that I’d give my view on all this soonish, I haven’t forgotten -all good to those who wait, etc.,), I’ve now located no less than two articles that cover a different approach towards SaaS/Cloud Computing; Jeremiah Owyang from Forrester highlights the organisational and human aspects towards this subject, while the post on GigaOm takes a more technical approach.

All in all both in their own way make for very interesting reads, though I honestly have to admit I scanned them quickly because I’m a bit short on time, stay tuned for my ‘Blurb tying all this together.

(Okay, here’s a sneak peak: As you may have noticed I’ve been posting quite frequently on SaaS in the past few weeks and I’m not the only one. Don’t forget that I’m only reporting on the actual developments in the industry, so don’t shoot the messenger ;)

Last week I’ve tweeted on the milestone that Salesforce.com reached in revenue: 1 billion USD in the past financial year… One Billion. Dell even tried to become the sole owner of  the words “Cloud Computing”, allegedly hoping to turn it into a full brand.

Seeing a trend here? Hint: Whatever your stance may be on Cloud Computing, it isn’t going to go away, far from it, and no, it’s not a one-size-fits-all solution either, but it’s coming and I believe it’s the next big, slow-burning disruptive technology/development on the horizon. Stay tuned!)
