Software as Services? What Your Mother Didn't Tell You About This Aspect of Web Services. According to Dan Muse of Internetnew.com, IDC reports, "...that while early adopters are successfully integrating heterogeneous systems in multiple locations, the next phase for Web services — delivering software as services — is at least a decade away." The $1,500 report by IDC's Rikki Kirzner claims that "businesses and users ultimately will have to be willing to make fundamental changes in the way they view software assets and intellectual property rights before vendors can deliver on the promises they are all making regarding the use of components as a key element of Web services. Semantics, standards, security, and privacy issues will present major stumbling blocks to later stages of Web services implementation."
All of that may be true. But ten years? Hard to imagine anyone willing to wait that long. I predict we'll see software-as-service in less than half that time, and in a big way.
