Cloud is for SME's Only. Albeit biggies might come in once a foolproof hybrid cloud method is implemented. Atleast companies like SAP, Oracle, SUN, and Microsoft have no threat from any ABC in the next 5 years for cloud computing... Well said Gerald.

Cloud is for SME’s Only.

Albeit biggies might come in once a foolproof hybrid cloud method is implemented.

Atleast companies like SAP, Oracle, SUN, and Microsoft have no threat from any ABC in the next 5 years for cloud computing…

Some vendors think that by locking up their customers to their solutions by using the Cloud, they will win this battle. Customers will not become allies to this vendor if it increases its fees inconsiderably. Moreover, competing the VAR channel by selling directly to customers will not bring VARs as allies either. Furthermore, the ERP solution itself must not only be a good one but must also meet the specific requirements needed by the mid-sized businesses market throughout the offering of strong customization capabilities. Again, the use of proprietary customization tools, may limit the possibilities or the number of competent people to do customization, increasing the prices of those projects. Who will win the ERP Battle for the Cloud ? The vendor that offers win-win ERP solutions for everyone, including customers and VARs.

In my humble opinion, the battle for the cloud will be won by smaller, more nimble competitors. I might object to including Oracle and SAP in the “cloud wars”.
