As the foundations of this new idea based on the twin concepts aggregation and disposability find better grounding, enterprises are getting more daring with it. The best example is that all vendors, including the messiah of client server – SAP has joined the bandwagon.
To be fair, many people confuse SAAS and Cloud Computing as two sides of the same coin. It isn’t. You can have enterprise applications running seamlessly without any change and even have them hosted on the cloud. In other words, not every application hosted on the cloud is a browser based application. And not in every instance, is the application run on rented time.
These changes signify evolution. It is clear to me that after an initial splash in the form of GApps, even Google has found itself largely disoriented in this space. Microsoft, on the other hand, with its Dynamics portfolio of largely bought out applications, seems to be gaining ground. What is surprising to me indeed is that in this technology wave, no absolutely new vendor has emerged as a shooting star – something that happened in several other technology waves.
