We all know that the general level of industry interest in Cloud Computing is high – but how much is Cloud Computing being actively considered and pursued by “enterprise IT” organisations, as opposed to software-as-a-service startups and professional ISVs moving to the SaaS model?
To help support the launch of our new Software Delivery advisory service – which at launch will feature several advisory reports focused on the potential impact of Cloud Computing – we decided to ask the members of the IASA what they’re thinking and doing about Cloud Computing.
As I’ve mentioned before we have an ongoing research relationship with this not-for-profit global association of IT Architects (which today has around 25,000 members across a variety of industries). As in our summer BPM study, we’ve worked together with IASA to carry out a web-based survey – and although all IASA members have now been invited to take part, I wanted to make sure that you had a chance to take a look and offer your thoughts, too. If you’re in an IT architecture role, or know someone who is, we’d be delighted to have your involvement: you can find the online survey here.
Once the survey is complete, we’ll create an in-depth report drilling into the survey findings and correlating them with findings from our other Cloud Computing research work. Everyone taking part in this survey will be eligible to receive a free copy of the report. We’ll also create an IASA-only webinar, based on the survey results and adding other best-practice insights. All IASA members will be able to access this webinar free of charge.
So – if you’re an IT architect or know someone who is – we’d love to hear from you! And if you’re interested in the IASA webinar we’re creating – it’s easy to become an IASA member…
Lastly – if you’re interested in finding out more about the new Software Delivery service we’re readying for launch, please take a look at the brochures featured on our home page.
