1. Platform Compatibility Issue is Dead – Long Live Browser

How many of us still remember the war between Netscape and IE?  Microsoft fought tooth and nail not because it loved Internet, MS just was smart enough to realize the future potential of browser as an application container, a platform that can make any application Windows independent.

If you have been betting on hosted applications as a server side paradigm of choice and browser as a client you are  already on the right side of the equation, if you have been waiting, it’s time you considered that golden move.  If you are a provider,  the hosted application market space just got a whole lot bigger, and its a good news.

2.  Arrival of a Killer Cloud App

Rhyme of “work from any where any time” has been there for some time now.  Things didn’t seem so obvious until the cloud arrived, web became faster and applications & data became detached from PC.

Arrival of free OS to drive the applications & a free Cloud to host them can just be the killer app the cloud computing has been waiting for.

3. Risk of Open source & Cloud Adoption just got Smaller

As an adopter of hosted application and open source paradigm, now you need not answer plethora of business continuity risks that you finally find a big brother in Google supporting your plans.

Nobody ever got fired for hiring IBM and may we add — No body will ever get fired for choosing Google Cloud.

4.   Whats  in it for YOU?

If you are an IT Services provider, it just makes plain future sense to focus on hosted open source application space and particularly on Cloud based applications.

As an adopter of open source, there couldn’t have been a better news.  It means a future that attracts more credible service providers and increasing lower total life cycle cost for your future IT initiatives.
