Looking through the current industry hype around cloud, Forrester believes cloud computing is a sustainable, long-term IT paradigm. Underpinned by both technology and economic disruptions, the cloud will fundamentally change the way technology providers engage with business customers and individual users. Many customers are suffering from "cloud confusion" as vendors' marketing stretches cloud across a wide variety of capabilities.
Forrester's new taxonomy of cloud computing markets provides vendors and customers with clear definitions and labels for cloud capabilities. With segmentation in hand, vendors can now position themselves in the overall cloud market and better articulate their business value propositions to customers. This teleconference will focus on the evolution of the cloud market, the success imperatives for hardware, middleware, software, and service providers and the right strategies for mature and emerging markets around the globe.
