Case Study 2 A DAY (OR TWO) IN THE LIFE OF A START -UP COMPANY

The B2C Application Landscape has profoundlychanged…• Key-words are On-Demand, Multi-channel, Real-time, “Always available” & Social• New applications are launched at an incredible speed and in massive volumes through downloads or appstores, often based on recommendations or online buzz• Many applications die a quick death, some applications survive (for a while), and some get so high traction that they need to double their capacity overnight (foursquare.com grew 3400% in 2010, http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/over_380_million_check- ins_foursquares_2010_by_the.php)• Successful application owners respond often and early to the user communities by having very frequent releases or by creating a ‘lab’ environment

So is the Business Application Landscape …• Anything can be a service in a highly connected environment• Time to market & ability to change is becoming more and more a key success factor when responding to the business demands• CAPEX/OPEX optimizations are sought, first of all in areas of high commercial risk (e.g. start-ups) & non-business critical area’s (e.g. development environments)• Regional or even global reach and multi-channel access are becoming more & more a standard requirements

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 StrongerNew technologies can lead to extremely scalable applications & platforms, where failover & redundancy is built into the “commodity” layer BetterThe quality of the applications is becoming better & better –more choice, improved user experience & customization to user’s specific needs Faster Access to applications is nearly immediate, your data travels with you & new ideas become available at any time of the day
