  • #10: And it’s getting a disproportionate amount of attention
  • #11: Big Data is big news – but what does it mean CRM is old news eCommerce is THE news – it’s mission critical Interesting HR is below the line – many of the original SaaS players were in HR like Taleo, Success Factors
  • #12: Because they are seeing the benefits 2/3 of these CIO’s is 10,000 or more employees – SaaS has broken into the enterprise
  • #13: Competitive advantage is 7th, surprising for an early market Only 6% have an internal mandate
  • #14: Competitive advantage is 7th, surprising for an early market Only 6% have an internal mandate
  • #15: Competitive advantage is 7th, surprising for an early market Only 6% have an internal mandate
  • #16: Competitive advantage is 7th, surprising for an early market Only 6% have an internal mandate
  • #17: Competitive advantage is 7th, surprising for an early market Only 6% have an internal mandate
  • #20: The value is in the application and solving the business problem

  • #23: Economies of scale Capacity for elasticity internal or need hybrid or public?
  • #26: PaaS will get squeezed Hybrid is a phase
  • #27: PaaS will get squeezed Hybrid is a phase
  • #28: PaaS will get squeezed Hybrid is a phase
  • #29: PaaS will get squeezed Hybrid is a phase Redhat reinventing itself as a cloud company…
  • #33: Develop Test
  • #49: Netflix Initially web ordering, physical delivery Then Web Then all devices, mobile, gaming, Roku, AppleTV, Because the value is the media & cloud is the delivery
  • #50: Collaboration Up and down the supply chain Tighter inventory control Social CRM, marketing, sales, service &s upport Closer customer connection Greater loyalty
  • #55: Cloud services: Consistent with early Cloud Formations are for Analytics & Big Data and Collaboration
  • #56: Image: http://gondwanasound.com/news/2010/12/07/japans-kodo-drummers-celebrate-30-years-new-album-akatsuki-and-north-american-tour
