SaaS will double in two years.
Mr. Debes says this is just history repeating itself, as if the industry is the same today as it was in the past. Does he not think that the wide adoption of broadband and the shrinking cost of resources might have an impact?

Giant enterprise software companies that can't (or won't) adapt will wither and die. Just because Lawson hasn't figured out how to build a SaaS app that provides immediate return doesn't mean more agile companies, or even 2 guys in a garage, can't. And those who can will be stealing market share from Lawson in two years.

The software industry is moving at a blistering pace. SaaS is a natural evolution of innovation in the industry, and the companies that want to succeed in the future must continue to innovate if they want to stay competitive. You simply can not build a giant company and then expect you'll be able to repeat past successes over and over indefinitely into the future.

Consulting software companies about how to be successful in the SaaS world just happens to be what my company does. So Mr. Debes, if you want to know how to get into SaaS and be successful, I invite you to email me. (bscates (at) muralconsulting.com)
