The Cloud War
The lucrative market of the Cloud has enticed several mega-vendors in the software industry, and the competition is getting more and more heated.
In this guide, the question of who is winning (and who is most definitely losing) is analysed. We’ll take a look at the strategies that are being used on both sides, and why one particular strategy is winning. We’ll also break down why Cloud is so popular (and it ironically doesn’t have a lot to do with customer benefits).
