Recently, this message from SearchSAP.com hit my email… “SAP, Microsoft align against Oracle in business software market”.

I couldn’t help but have this vision of these big dinosaurs fighting each other while completely unaware of the potential danger of their extinction. The rest of humanity is hard at work redefining how to work and play without them, and quickly coming to realize that there is a better, faster, cheaper way, thanks to cloud computing, Google, and the pioneering work of Salesforce and Amazon. These clumsy slow-motion giants don’t seem to get it. They are quickly running out of people willing to sign $250,000,000 checks to deploy what is supposed to be a “software product” on their own hardware. This change couldn’t come soon enough.
