I like your comment Shaleen. Innovation is actually by definition “pushing something forward”. When companies rehash and reuse old technology in the same boring way, they need to stop using the word innovation. When companies use Facebook’s API just to do something that Facebook already does, they need to stop using the word innovation. When companies bring to market another product that “stores things in the cloud”……well you get the point. But if it means the difference between working at StarYucks and a billion dollars, I will even call hammer pants innovative.

The Cloud is bringing a major change in how startups innovate. We are moving from the historical silicon/chip focused innovation to a Cloud focused innovation. For example, if you look at what’s going on in the networking space of the Cloud. Startups like Nicira, Big Switch, ContextReam or Lyatiss are grabbing a lot of VC money to disrupt a company like Cisco. Social Media is capturing a lot of attention right now but the Cloud and Software-defined Networking are the most exciting things happening in our industry.

You know what’s funny about this post – the use of two overrated terms: innovation and the cloud. Yet, like you, I think many are missing a bigger picture here. There are still plenty of myths to debunk concerning the cloud and we might as yet to come up with a better definition of innovation. For me, something innovative is as simple as making a difference in my life, no matter how small or big the impact is.

The idea that cloud can do the heavy lifting, while a team focuses on business model and/or business process innovation is compelling to start-up and established company alike. As a company’s definition of the cloud gets larger, say incorporating services and data in both the public cloud and private cloud, the possibilities of what you can potentially do in this new, larger, converged cloud environment is compelling. Perhaps the greatest benefit is the approach allows an established company to use its greatest resources (pre-existing investments and staff) to act like a start-up.
