Harder Fierce competition, often from players that are not bound to legacy offerings. More choice, making it more difficult to select the optimal service provider Stronger New technologies can lead to extremely scalable applications & platforms, where failover & redundancy is built into the commodity layer Better The quality of the applications is becoming better & better more choice, improved user experience & customization to users specific needs Faster Access to applications is nearly immediate, your data travels with you & new ideas become available at any time of the day
