Thanks for the article. On-demand application development is an exciting area right now. I work with Fortune 1000 CIO's regularly and this idea is enabling them to dramatically add value to the business by shortening delivery times for applications. In many cases, they are also able to empower business owners to build their own applications, providing "platform as a service" to their customers.
There are, however, a couple of key features that the CIO's I work with find essential. First is the ability to host the platform internally. Data privacy and security concerns are much harder to satisfy when the data resides outside their data center. This doesn't apply to all applications in all companies, but the vast majority of the companies I talk to prefer to host the platform themselves.
Additionally, the ability to build significant applications without writing code is powerful. This enables tech-savvy business users to build and enhance their own applications and leaves IT free to manage the platform. This also dramatically reduces application development timeframes, typically from months down to days in the cases I've seen.
When "platform as a service" provides these features, business customers are empowered to create applications rapidly, on-demand, and in a secure manner. This greatly enhances the value that CIO's are able to bring to the enterprise.
