OK - so maybe "abandon" is too strong a word... but let's face it, on premise is under siege, and it is only a matter of time until SaaS or cloud computing becomes the predominant method of acquiring and using applications. Putting the onus on the vendor to deliver and ensure satisfaction and usage of the application is a much better business proposition. NetSuite is making impressive inroads into the SAP and Oracle armor... smart system integrators may not yet abandon their SAP and Oracle practices but hedging their bets is a wise move. Cloud computing is here to stay.... saying it is snake oil or ignoring the fact that all the growth is in SaaS is a going out of business formula. Why do you think SaaS consultants can't meet with the client or go to the shop floor? Of course they can! And when they return to their home office... they will be so much more productive because they will have powerful workflow modelling tools.. SaaS is here to stay... system integrators pay attention!
