Garnter, Forrester Research, IDC and more are outlining the top trends in IT challenges in today's business landscape. These include IT wanting the latest versions or technology in their business applications but don't want to spend the money or tie up the resource time. Also wishing they could free up IT to focus more on strategy versus maintenance. IT is looking for predictable costs to report to management and executives. And, they also want to provide more capabilities to the user community, however don't have the time to spend implementing and training. Core issues facing IT professionals today. Most companies are more hesitant than ever when considering a major IT spend. I was recently at a Microsoft partner briefing event in the North Central area and was so glad to hear these trends, this is exactly what our hosting services speak to in today's down economy. Research statistics presented included a study by IDC that by 2001 the hosting or 'cloud' computing industry will be a $20 billion industry...and predictions of 32% market growth from years 2007-2011.....Beautiful!!!
