No Travel Advisory and No Visa Quotas required for  Cloud Delivery.

You can deliver on the cloud from anywhere, anytime and anyway as long as you possess skill in cloud computing solutions,  a good internet connection and a customer who needs your delivery skills.

In the old days we needed a visa to work elsewhere in the world, we needed to adapt to different cultural and climatic conditions and finally many  just stayed back never to return to their homeland.

Cloud Computing allows one to work from wherever they please with a netbook or tablet and deliver the computing support and delivery needed by their customers anywhere in the world.
This transformation on cloud computing delivery will gain momentum in 2012 and we will see innovative SAAS products being imagined in Greenland , developed in Asia and delivered to customers in North America. None of these players need to travel or apply for a visa or for that matter take any vaccines to make this happen. 

This is the power of the Cloud and we will see this transformation accelerating in 2012. 

The gates for " Body Shopping " will be Shut !

A fallout of the cloud computing revolution will be the death of "Body Shopping ".

Lightening has already struck a few medium sized IT firms in India, a few will close down and some will salvage  by selling out.
Some of the Indian IT companies in India who own a number of captive hotels may change their business from IT services to Hospitality services. 

The cloudburst will create a deluge which will  have many IT companies looking for alternate business to survive.

Those who steer their Business to Cloud Computing Services will survive and those that just cannot turn direction will see their Captains deserting the ship. 

This has already happened last year at one of the Indian IT biggies last year, more will follow in 2012.

Business is Waiting for Microsoft's Cloud Services 

The Marketing Skills of Microsoft are legendary and we will see Steve Ballmer leading the troops from the front to conquer the world and give them the Azure services bundled with Microsoft (earlier Nokia) smart phones.
Microsoft is equipped to play in all three spaces namely PAAS, SAAS and IAAS and will lead in each of these segments especially among Corporate users.
Microsoft will shun its non profit social networking and media business if its advertising revenues cannot support them and will become a pure play provider of Cloud and Technology services to the Business of the world, where it is the trusted and valuable partner.
Amazon will continue supporting the world of social media, with a few glitches during busy days, and apple can continue entertaining the world in its icloud eco system.
Business Users cannot tolerate failure or interruptions in services will flock to Microsoft like the tigers in the picture.
2012 will be the year of the Cloud and Microsoft will lead the charge and bring back their dominance as the Juggernaut of Marketing.
