Yefim V. NatisTalking to a gathering of a group of IT decision makers recently, I collected a number of reasons why they did (or may) choose the cloud computing option to replace the traditional on-premises approach for some of their application projects. The products considered were cloud application platforms like Force.com, AppEngine, LongJump and many others (see Gartner’s Who is Who in application Platforms for Cloud Computing).
The mentioned reasons to choose a cloud application platform included:
- Reduce project risk
- Assure a level of quality
- Improve time to market
- Escape legacy systems
- Improved productivity
- Incremental project results
- Reduce the need for long engagements with SIs
This list is not a Gartner research product, but a distillation of notes I took in one conversation on the topic with some highly-engaged IT practitioners.
What do YOU say? Do you agree? Do you believe any of it? Do you have more to add to the list? Cross something off?
Comments are welcome.
Thank you for your interest and happy blogging!
