Game Changing Technologies from CIO
CIO magazine has published a list of game changing technologies. They include multicore processors, server consolidation and virtualization, RFID, software as a service and endpoint security. Not surprisingly, software as a service is most interesting to us.
Software as a service has immense potential. However, companies shouldn’t expect to see returns overnight. Companies will need to approach software as a service first with their outlier, non mission critical applications. And rewriting those applications from scratch is pointless. The web 2.0 philosophies that drive the software as a service mantra are worthwhile to consider when building new software only at first.
