The year 2012 will be when cloud computing reaches a critical point in its maturity lifecycle, turning from a "hype topic" to "normal business." At the end of last year, we published a Forrester blog post titled "10 Cloud Predictions For 2012." In this webinar, we go through the 10 individual predictions in detail, explain the drivers behind each topic, and underscore our forecasts with data points where possible.
Agenda:
The webinar goes through our 10 cloud computing predictions one by one:
- Multicloud becomes the norm.
- The Wild West of cloud procurement is over.
- Cloud commoditization is creeping up the stack.
- Collaboration will emerge as a key business benefit for cloud computing.
- We will see the next wave of software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions in product lifecycle management, business intelligence, and supply chain management.
- The cloud market will grow beyond $60 billion.
- Private clouds will go beyond virtualization.
- The first cloud brokers will emerge.
- Large enterprises will take the lead in cloud markets.
- The lines between cloud and on-premise licensing models are blurring.
