I don’t know about that trillion and definitely not just Silicon Valley but…
In an article “A Trillion-Dollar Transfer Of Wealth Is About To Hit Silicon Valley” Dan Lyons writes something I happen to be in agreement with for last 6 years:
Enterprise customers have been locked into overpriced, underperforming software and equipment for a decade or more, and the’ve been loath to spend money to change things. But now it seems a huge transformation is about to occur, driven by mobile devices, cloud platforms and the software-as-a-service business model.
But his vision is too narrow. This is not just about building better products against SAP or Microsoft. This is about opening whole new market niches which couldn’t be approached before. Ultimately it will be about more than trillion dollars.
Coincidentally, I will be speaking about this next week at FOWA in Prague.
It would be even deeper than that. Those people who would create those new shiny products, services etc. – they would live different lives, vote different people, use different kind of office etc. etc. It’s coming indeed. Big giants should be and they are worried big time.
@Petr Ruzicka: Good point, thanks.
more I think about it, more connection I made “…they would save money different way, they would buy different products, work from different places, invest to different companies… than those who go to work , punch card and off they go. traditional companies, securities, all would change.” World would change.
Storm is coming Mr. Wayne…
@Petr Ruzicka: Probably, but that will take decades. The web app revolution in the business will come sooner and will support this changes but it is not dependent on them as it makes sense even for current company structure.
Decades ? I don’t think so, years IMHO.
