Speaking Points:
Developers are now empowered to focus on cloud and working to create new apps faster. By the end of 2015, 75% of large organizations are expected to have adopted agile devOps practices, (IDC) and 25% of cloud developers indicated development of cloud apps from within a hybrid environment.(Evan’s Data) < approved for use >
IT Leaders need Ninja like speed and skill to embrace the flexibility of universal hybrid clouds and meet shrinking time-to-value needs of the business. 61% of leading companies are achieving their objective of increased workforce efficiency through cloud (IBM Business Technology Trends 2014)
Business leaders use the power of technology to experiment and innovate. 68% of leading companies are achieving their objective of improved customer experience through cloud (IBM Business Technology Trends)
When we talk about cloud there are three fundamental elements:
Cloud Business Apps – these are the software-as-a-service offerings that allow you to rapidly address front and back office needs.
Digital Innovation Platform – this is the platform for building, running, and managing cloud and mobile apps
World Class Cloud Infrastructure – this is the private and public cloud infrastructures that you will use

For years you’ve discussed people, process and technology as the three elements for successful organizational transformation. Most of what you hear in the market about Cloud is focused on the technology. The reality is what you might expect, i.e., change happens in more than just technology.
With any disruptive technology, you should expect how people do things change, and more importantly, what they do changes. People are empowered at various organizational levels like never before. Business leaders are empowered to experiment and innovate. IT can react with speed to business requirements and the shrinking time to value window. Developers can focus on creating the next killer app
As roles evolve, the lines separating responsibility blur much like the traditional areas of IaaS, PaaS and SaaS.
Consider how Bluemix is deployed in Softlayer. Bluemix is the innovation platform, yes, but it’s also the infrastructure from the developer’s perspective.
Also think about how there are infrastructure SaaS offerings. Our own Cast Iron Live is exactly that – a SaaS offering for integrating infrastructure which allows business users to ingrate Cloud offerings with on premises applications.
What about a data scientist using Bluemix’s analytics capabilities much like a SaaS offering.
