You can check out the details for each topic in the article. One of the interesting points in Upsides to SaaS was how IT can use to pay for SaaS through operating budget instead of capital budget. I was thinking for why this change was happening and came up with:
- The month to month biz model automatically places it under operations.
- Costs are low enough that larger long-term capital spending isn't needed, of particular note in today's economy.
- From costs being lower, another side benefit being potentially less internal approvals needed.
Probably #1 is the driver, with #2 & 3 additional support for the move.
