What ‘Network’ was for the decade of 90’s, ‘Cloud’ will be for the coming decade. Increasingly, more than ever, there are talks about leveraging grid computing at server level, eliminating the need for unnecessarily heavy personal systems and deepening systems on the cloud.

Now, the terms Software-as-a-Service, Platform-as-a-Service and Infrastructure-as-a-Service are becoming the game-changing models – as we enter the year 2012 and move on, the cloud and computing domain will keep taking precedence over currently existing conventional systems. This would obviously also have interesting implications for business models of traditional software makers – again, new industries will quickly evolve and replace some currently-common products and approaches.
