Mr. Keuter, If you are having problems working with IT providers that don’t see the value in creating an all electronic solution, I would encourage you to take a look at http://www.geoAMPS.com. They have entirely electronic solutions that are tailored to the individual client and a service team that has earned the organization the reputation of being a technology partner.

Mr. Thiele brings up valid points in his posting about the potential backlash from underserviced Cloud clients.If I may offer, geoAMPS, LLC, addresses the concerns that Mr. Thiele presents, building Web-based software products and relationships that last. You can find a blog post about the topic here at the following link.

I’d like to add that getting an enterprise to an all cloud strategy and having to convince cloud provider sales people to accept that my enterprise wants this, is an extra complexity wich I had not expected. What I experience is vendors (traditional and semi-cloud) trying to convince me that hybrid will be the strategy to follow for the enterprise in the near future. All of the big vendors in our current IT landscape fail to deliver on their cloud promise, integration is a major issue, adhearing to internet standards to deliver standard functional controls for the most basic functions is a constant source of concern. I second the call for vendors who take responsibility and know what enterprise computing is all about, not the one’s who always made the quick bucks on selling half a functionality and let the customer guess how he/she can reach the other half. Let the service part in … as a Service be the most important in your selling argument, not the marketing term which starts the whole conversation.

Your observations are right. Cloud is driven user expectations, not just by cost and certainly not by vendor hype. The backlash will not be against cloud in general – that’s already here to stay. Vendors who fail to deliver the user experience expected AND the level of quality and security demanded by business, will not survive.

I agree with your observations regarding Cloud computing. I get insulted by the name itself when we need more and better transparency for which I have an answer:
THE CORPORATE BUSINESS INFORMATION UTILITY
I have an important Innovation for business information that eliminates complications and sophistications while greatly reducing costs giving all business persons the live, unified, complete and correct information they all need and deserve to do their work effectively, productively and efficiently.
The Innovation uses the latest applicable software to gather all activities as they occur, update the operational/financial performance and status model of every resource and relationship in its corporate files. With this core information, the Innovation converts the corporation into a Corporate Business Information Utility which like an electric utility is always ready to deliver information energy pertinent to each business user’s needs. The Corporation records the area(s) of work assigned to each registered user and downloads what is required by each user’s laptop, pad or phone to convert these into personalized Business Assistants as if each user has top priority.
With the same source of live, unified complete and correct information extracted from the same source, communication, coordination, cooperation and control, the four key business management Cs, become a standard feature of each User Corporation or equivalent not-for-profit organizations.
I have the designs of the methodology and architecture (patent pending) that were used to develop, deliver and operate this type of system using 3 prior generations of technology. The design is ready to go live with the latest on-line technology and to keep upgrading as new technology and business management generations come into being. What is required is a small group of young entrepreneurs and the funding to assure new customers that the Corporate Business Information Utility will absorb and deliver all new pertinent Business and technology developments with continuity giving each CBIU a life cycle equal to the life cycle of the User Corporation.

Mostly these decisions are driven by short term qharterly budget considerations. Only when the changes ppl will think long term. That’s just the sad truth
