Good News
What is not to love about Cloud Computing? It minimizes time and cost of deployment and, usually, allows users better/varied method of getting their job done.
Faster, cheaper, and easier!
Bad News
But, there is no free lunch. The fact that basic functionality can be easily accommodated using Cloud-based applications, it does not mean that there will be no customizations required for specific usages, especially in the enterprise context. Similarly, integration with legacy systems, the tried and true source of income for any and all enterprise software companies, remains a question that people are still struggling with.
SDK/API and Standards
The ability to plan, create, and use SDK (software development kit) and API (application programming interface) will becoming increasingly important as enterprise players start to consider adding Cloud capabilities into their existing technology stack.
This also means that a new era of standard bickering is about to start.
Oh, joy!
