This is an exciting time to be in enterprise software. With the cloud and software as a service, we have a new chance to get it right.
Early Cloud Adopters
Early cloud adopters accelerate past their competition.
Companies that took to the cloud early have now accumulated large stores of data, and are well positioned to use Big Data technology to gain insights into new areas to optimize for efficiency, or even opportunities to create new revenue streams. These early adopters should already be enjoying greater agility and possibly improvements in revenue and cost containment relative to competitors who haven’t made the leap to the cloud. They should be well positioned to use data as an accelerator to propel them past competitors weighed down by legacy systems.
