Does Private SaaS Make Any Sense?
In order to capture the enterprise markets, some of the vendors are shifting towards a Private SaaS approach.
This brings into focus the very definition of Private SaaS itself. I would like to offer the following simple definition but it is bound to get many pundits worked up.
PRaaS, PRocessus as a Service
Un PRaaS possède quatre caractéristiques de base :
- Un service disponible sur le Cloud.
- Propose une réponse complète pour gérer l’intégralité d’un processus.
- Concerne non seulement l’entreprise, mais aussi des acteurs externes, clients, fournisseurs ou prestataires.
- Est utilisable directement par des personnes des métiers concernés, sans nécessiter l’intervention d’informaticiens de l’entreprise.
Private Cloud Architecture
Private Cloud Architecture: Moving Wits beyond the cutting edge. This is a talk on our private cloud architecture that we are implementing at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg.
Sustaining Software Innovation from the Client to the Web
Despite the current strength and promise of the Internet software market, the future pace of growth and innovation is not assured. The principles of choice, opportunity, and interoperability were important in the growth of PC software and in the overall health of the information technology ecosystem, and these same principles will shape competition in Internet software, according to HBS professor Marco Iansiti
-
firms should allow consumers and partners to have a real choice between complementary products and services from otherwise competing firms
-
specifically, opportunity that is facilitated by giving developers platform access and the ability to innovate and build on platform technologies to create new products and services.

The big company and the cloud
While granting that "clouds are very cost-effective" for small and medium-sized companies, McKinsey argues that a large company would spend considerably more today if it were to shut down its data center and run all its applications out of a utility-computing cloud.
-
Nevertheless, the McKinsey analysis is a valuable one, not least because it underscores how early we are in the development of the utility-computing grid - and why we shouldn't expect large companies to begin shutting down their data centers any time soon.
-
The real opportunity that the cloud offers large companies today is as a supplement or complement to their in-house operations rather than as a complete replacement
Eli Lilly On What's Next In Cloud Computing - Plug Into The Cloud - InformationWeek
Eli Lilly uses Amazon Web Services and other cloud services to provide high-performance computing, as needed, to hundreds of its scientists. With AWS, Powers said, a new server can be up and running in three minutes (it used to take Eli Lilly seven and a half weeks to deploy a server internally) and a 64-node Linux cluster can be online in five minutes (compared with three months internally). "The deployment time is really what impressed us," Powers said. "It's just shy of instantaneous."
Démystifier le cloud computing.
Le concept de « cloud computing » s'est propagé avant d'avoir été clairement défini. Mais si vous êtes de ceux qui croient au mirage, il est sans doute temps d'y regarder de plus près.
Entièrement axé sur l'efficience, le cloud computing permet de déployer un système unique aussi bien qu'une quantité massive de ressources informatiques afin de les rendre accessibles à la demande, en temps réel et pour un coût abordable. Dans la mesure où les stratégies de « cloud » les plus performantes s'appuient sur des concepts et des outils déjà bien connus des développeurs, ce paradigme est susceptible de redéfinir la relation unissant l'organisation informatique aux équipes de développement et aux unités opérationnelles qui dépendent d'elle. L'organisation informatique s'assure en effet des gains d'efficience et des points de contrôle supplémentaires, tandis que ses clients accèdent à un nouveau degré de simplicité et d'autonomie dans leur utilisation des services.
Go Ahead, Use Facebook
For anyone born after 1985, entering the workforce is a technological shock. Raised on MySpace.com (NWS) and Wikipedia, these workers can't comprehend why they should have to wait 18 months for a company to build corporate software when they can download

Le Webtop : le Desktop organisé par le web
Alors que nous allons vers un monde de plus en plus mobile, où les utilisateurs travaillent souvent à travers plusieurs dispositifs au cours de la journée, nous avons besoin d’unifier l’accès à nos applications et à nos données. Cela nécessite que nos applications et nos donnés ne résident plus sur des dispositifs locaux, mais plutôt qu’ils vivront dans les nuages et seront accessibles via des services web

Le focus sur le bureau va nous faire passer de l’ère de l’information à celle de l’attention.
-
Et d’expliquer que le bureau du futur a pour but de nous aider à mieux gérer la surcharge informationnelle - “qui est dû en grande partie à ce changement”. “L”interface sera adaptée pour aider l’utilisateur à comprendre quelles sont les tendances plutôt que de savoir comment les choses sont organisées.”
