Almost every business reaches a time when the fundamentals
change. This time is referred to as a strategic inflection
point.
Adopting new technology or fighting the competition may not be
enough when these critical moments arise. That's because inflection
points build up force so quickly that organizations may have a hard
time even putting a finger on what has changed. The way a firm
responds could propel it to new heights or lead to its demise.
Over the last few years, industry has begun developing a model
of information technology known as Cloud computing, which includes
Software as a Service. This new model has reached an inflection
point and will give users the choice to purchase IT as a service,
as a complement to, or as a replacement of the traditional IT
software/hardware infrastructure purchase.
It's time for businesses to transform how they approach advanced
software and innovative business models so they can achieve real
agility. If you are a decision maker involved with the deployment
of information technology, then it's imperative that you understand
"Software as a Service Inflection Point."
