Future software delivery model

Essentially, big businesses will rent a service, clever charging models will make the services attractive, for example

“If you rent Atos CRM we will reduce churn by …” or “We will give you our manufacturing service for free if we get a slice of the cost reductions …”

Services will be made of applications, but not as we know them, the apps will be clever mashups of different features from other applications and web services,

This whole layer will be very confusing with millions of interdependent services and features,

Ultimately a small number of massive massive cloud vendors will provide the hosting, there will be alternatives but they will be a bit flakey,
