The future of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)

The Big Switch, a new book by author Nicholas Carr is due out next Tuesday (Jan 08). The book, which takes the strapline ‘rewiring the world, from Edison to Google’, suggests the takeover of companies’ IT by the software-as-a-service (SaaS) model, akin to Dub’s own business practice.

Our good selves, and the author of this book identify that the huge benefits and cost savings to business owners is through large scale use service and utility providers with considerable scale and expertise. Carr goes on to say “It may take decades for companies to abandon their proprietary supply operations and all the investments they represent. But in the end the savings offered by utilities become too compelling to resist, even for the largest enterprises.”
