'In 2009 Adobe bought Omniture, known for its web analytics, measurement and optimization technologies, and in 2010 it snapped up Day Software for its web content management prowess (and it’s open source, to boot). “So now our users can go from the creative authoring process and input that directly into content operating and then have tests and targeting to make sure they’re [projects are] optimized and offer the right kind of web experience,” Van Siclen said. “That’s what customer experience management is all about.”' - Are cloud IDEs a good idea? – The Java Posse | Google Groups

"Enterprise" concerns about app stores, e.g.: "Once you’ve got the app you have no real idea what data the app is accessing, what it’s keeping, what it’s downloading, more importantly, what its uploading and why." - The economic benefits of cloud computing
Nice quotes from Microsoft study on cloud, e.g.: "The economics will have a profound impact on IT. Many IT leaders today are faced with the problem that 80 per cent of the budget is spent on keeping the lights on – maintaining existing services and infrastructure.

Cloud computing will free up significant resources that can be redirected to innovation." - IBM thinks Google, Amazon are too amateur to serve enterprise computing needs. Is that true?

However, most IT managers would agree that these processes and separation of roles were instituted to increase the quality and uptime of IT environments, and ultimately the quality of the end user experience. The growing access to automated, self service, provisioning of IT resources and environments is enabling developers to flatten the roles, if not processes, between a developer and the end user." - What do Developers Dream Of?
