After the storm – the shift to the Cloud accelerates

My company’s preference for deploying new business software (on a continuum from On-premise to Hybrid-Cloud to pure-play Cloud) will be:
Through 2016, Hybrid-Cloud becomes the enterprise platform of choice – a transitional platform, however, en route to a future dominated by public and private clouds.By 2016, 75 percent or more of NEW enterprise IT spend will be Cloud-based or Hybrid.Source: Saugatuck Technology
A cornerstone of SAP’s cloud strategy is to enable our customers to adopt the cloud in an incremental, hybrid solution model Protect and leverage existing investments Support change without disruption Provide customers with the best of both worlds

Adjusting the Cloud Strategy
CIOs need to build their cloud strategy based on business agility and innovation. While cost considerations remain to be an important element of any cloud business plan, CIOs need to build their strategy around existing assets and complement these assets with new, innovative business functions from cloud service providers that can be quickly implemented to increase business agility.
CIOs should discuss collaborative cloud opportunities with their peers. Together with their business partners, CIOs should identify B2B processes that could benefit from cloud collaboration services and build an ecosystem of industry and IT partners that are able to build and operate such a collaborative business platform.
