Business Platform: The Nirvana-State in Cloud
With more & more literature on the cloud as an utility market, which is going through the typical hype cycle, I am increasingly convinced that the Business Platform model is the nirvana-state in cloud.
Why I believe Business Platforms is the end-state in cloud is not only because of the uniqueness in the model in going beyond the infrastructure & application layer, but taking it all the way into the business process arena along with value-added services & tools. This unleashes phenomenal business value combined with innovative pricing linked with business metrics.
Even as the cloud debate evolves, Business Platforms – the nirvana-state in cloud is there as a business model to stay with early adopters already tapping into the business value.
