The rant got away from me. But I do believe it will take a long time for the confidence in SaaS to be there for a majority take up - admin Thu, 26 Mar 2009 02:46:55 +0100 http://unreasonablemen.net/index.php/Blogs/Cloud-computing-evangelists-are-high-on-the-fumes-of-their-own-vitriol.html#comment-189 I agree that large institutions eg. banks and government agencies, are unlikely to shift wholly to the cloud for decades, although I disagree with "[i]Some things will never shift out of the firewall[/i]". [b]Never[/b] is an awfully long time! If SaaS etc fulfils its promise, and accommodates such things as location-based imperatives, organisation-specific front ends and app integration, and easy transfer/backup, then most users may (repeat, may) not need anything more, except for embedded intelligence (eg in machinery and network equipment). Otherwise, I agree with your general rant and thesis. - Jim Thu, 26 Mar 2009 00:40:39 +0100
