Cloud Innovation Acceleration Effect: Now Releasing 100 Stories

Cross-posting here a two part essay I wrote for the Sonian blog on how Sonian is benefiting from, and contributing to (by amplification,) the innovation cadence in cloud computing.

I’ve been working in enterprise software since the late 1980′s, and what I am witnessing as a participant in “the cloud” is the pace of cloud technology innovation over the past five years blows away the previous two decades.

There is a real noticeable trend here. We didn’t see this in SaaS powered by co-location hosting. What we are seeing with the cloud, and the ISV’s that adopted the cloud five years ago, is truly amazing. Sonian is entering a release cadence updating production systems with substantial new features every month.
