Vinnie?s cure for this anti-SaaS campaign is relatively simple. SaaS vendors should go on offense show customers how they can extract their data if they want to leave, provide back-up arrangements, require any acquirer to support service for at least five years and open up the books for examination.

It would be much better if on-premise vendors provide financing / leasing options (along with optional support services) to allow customers to keep a close eye on their data on their premises. If your data means a lot to you, keep it close to you - don't spread it all over the Internet in unencrypted / unprotected form.
