The document summarizes the key findings from a survey on the future of cloud computing in 2012. Some of the main points covered include:
1) Software is increasingly becoming cloud-based, with SaaS spending growing much faster than traditional software and over 50% of categories being disrupted.
2) SaaS is widely adopted, with 82% currently using it and 84% of new software predicted to be SaaS. PaaS adoption is also increasing significantly.
3) Hybrid cloud models are becoming more popular, with 100% of deployments predicted to be hybrid by 2017.
4) While cloud adoption is increasing, concerns around security, compliance and other issues remain barriers for some.

realit-. SAP has nearly 200,000 customers, and they are
embracing cloud like never before. However, building a profitable
cloud business requires scale—with 17 million users, SAP's cloud
business has the largest user base of any cloud apps provider. SAP
is responding to this g,owing market with serious investKent in a
roadmap of innovative and user-‐Miendly cloud applications that
work seamlessly with cur,ent on-‐premise solutions to deliver the

surPey has confirKed some of 451 Group’s recent research. It
appears that there is g,owing familiarit- and t,st of public cloud
accompanied by a desire to move beyond one's own interSal
inMast,ctre, cloud or not. This is an understandable t,end as
the public cloud has existed for some time, presented enough
options and has had time to prog,ess Mom test or POC
deployKents to production implementations, which is reinforced
by other responses. The move away Mom interSally-‐hosted to
public and hybrid clouds reflects the need and desire to integ,ate
with other technologies, vendors and ecosystems. This year’s

People like the convenience of using software in the cloud, and paying as they go
And it’s getting a disproportionate amount of attention
Big Data is big news – but what does it meanCRM is old newseCommerce is THE news – it’s mission critical
Because they are seeing the benefits 2/3 of these CIO’s is 10,000 or more employees – SaaS has broken into the enterprise
Competitive advantage is 7th, surprising for an early marketOnly 6% have an internal mandate
The value is in the application and solving the business problem
PaaSAlways a need for custom softwareDifferentiationCompetitive advantageIndustry specific – eg GovernmentWidely differing views:-Forrester Research estimates the PaaS market size to be $9.8B by 2015 – 86% CAGRGartner estimates the PaaS Market opportunity to be $1.7B by 2015 – 26% CAGR Drivers: reduced complexity, Need for optimization – eg certain stacks PHP – AcquiaRuby – Engine YardJava – CloudBees
Hybrid:Legacy appsRate of changeHybrid is often sophisticated users with more than 3 years cloud experience
Control is driving private cloudIf you’re going to start private – build for public cloud readinessAutomation?Self service?Management?
