I’m eagerly awaiting my copy of The Big Switch, ordered from Amazon.com as it has not been published in Europe yet (plus with the exchange rate its cheaper anyway). Michael Cote has just started reading it and has some thoughts on the big switch and the Cloud. Mentions ESBs as the gateway, but does not mention Cape Clear (we’re not clients). This is a big focus for us and we’ve had considerable success solving this key issue with Workday and their customers using the Cape Clear ESB. Jeff Kaplan has a good post on the Top Ten Reasons Why On-Demand Services Will Soar in 2008.
