its the economy.stupid.
- analysts just extrapolate the IT production function.
- advantages of the cloud compute model are already worked-in in new products
- the new generation of start-ups got the IP and get the same resources for their hw.
- remains a certain cost advantage for the bigX based on size, but not that big (10% ? )
- well, balancing that with the risk (for your enterprise IT) completely loosing control of your assets (data, operations) ....Hmmm....I would not prefer to have a seat in the board ...
- the cloud is an option, not more, not less
