26. If we talk about cost reduction, the most I can do for you is cut your IT spending by 100%. Then we’re done. If we talk about value creation, I can keep on delivering value with no upper bound. That’s a much more interesting conversation. The Cloud’s Lower Cost is Compelling. So What? If you want cheap IT, go ahead. You won’t be in business next year. Your competitors will do projects with attractive ROI, while you spend less, and you won’t be competitive in service or performance. Demand curves slope downwards. Better apps at lower cost will expand demand and grow total IT spending. And that’s OK.

27. True Cloud Storage as a Service No one can sell you a hard drive that tells you when your data’s out of date In the cloud, your storage can be self-cleaning True Cloud Customer Support as a Service No one can build you a call center that knows everything your customers know…and everything they’re saying to each other about you In the cloud, your service center can interact with social nets True Cloud Application Platform as a Service No one can give you a local development platform that automatically deploys your applications onto every new portable device In the cloud, apps can acquire new features and support new devices at zero cost to the developer Don’t Settle for “Same Function, Lower Cost”
