This has been a curious year for cloud computing. The
technology has moved into mainstream consciousness, but many vendors
remain frustrated with the pace of enterprise adoption. While widespread
agreement about the importance of cloud computing is present, many
vendors see enterprises pursuing internal cloud implementation projects
with a slow pace. As you can imagine, vendors are impatient with this
pace—but not as frustrated as early-stage investors in those vendors.
Notwithstanding, I expect 2013 to be an inflection point for cloud computing, although not in the way many IT organizations or vendors do. You can expect that cloud computing trends of 2012 will become more vivid in 2013 and will prove disconcerting to incumbents, no matter which side of the vendor/buyer table they sit on. Cloud computing will prove more disruptive to the established order of things than almost anyone anticipates, and it will prove to be extremely uncomfortable for many.
Here are five things to look for in 2013.
The sotto voce in this is the belief, or hope or wish, anyway, that presenting customers with an "enterprise" offering will then curtail their dalliance with Amazon Web Services. It's like a spurned spouse waiting for the lure of home cooking to bring their wandering partner back home.
This will be a put-up-or-shut-up year for the attractive powers of enterprise cloud computing. December 2013 will find many incumbent vendors standing in the doorway, listening anxiously for the footsteps of wayward customers. By the end of the year, people will recognize that just repeating the phrase "enterprise cloud" is insufficient as a vendor strategy.
Analysis: Cloud Computing Pushes Vendors to Seek New Roles in IT Value Chain
It's critical to understand that differentiation exists in the mind of the buyer, not the mind of the seller. Cloud service providers will need to understand the motivations of buyers and will also need to understand that many cloud buyers are different from traditional enterprise buyers—they may work in enterprises, but they don't have the same needs or goals as their counterparts. Proffering a product with the traditional functionality, language and selling approach to this new type of buyer is pointless.
In 2013, I expect "enterprise cloud" to be a meme that moves from a market segment description to a drinking-game meme. Every time you hear it, you have to take a sip of your beer.
