Almost every business reaches a time when the fundamentals change. This time is referred to as a strategic inflection point.
Adopting new technology or fighting the competition may not be enough when these critical moments arise. That’s because inflection points build up force so quickly that organizations may have a hard time even putting a finger on what has changed. The way a firm responds could propel it to new heights or lead to its demise.
Over the last few years, industry has begun developing a model of information technology known as Cloud computing, which includes Software as a Service. This new model has reached an inflection point and will give users the choice to purchase IT as a service, as a complement to, or as a replacement of the traditional IT software/hardware infrastructure purchase.
It’s time for businesses to transform how they approach advanced software and innovative business models so they can achieve real agility. If you are a decision maker involved with the deployment of information technology, then it’s imperative that you understand Software as a Service Inflection Point.
