Surprisingly, we sometimes still hear that a few companies question on demand infrastructure and the software as a service (SaaS) that it delivers. If that is the case in your organization, I would send them this link to read the CIO survey by CIO Insight magazine.

Refer specifically to the question: “Where does your company stand with regard to the following new technologies?” As you can see, 31% of CIOs have already deployed a SaaS application, 14% are testing it, and 23% are making evaluations. So they are probably in the 32% that either have no interest or are unaware of the impact.

Our only question is this: why are they the exception today?
