You and <cool SV startup> don't register that on the radar. But the random Fortune 500 big corp is pouring money into "Enterprise Clouds" like Oracle, IBM and SAP with embedded sales, consulting and support.
- user5994461 10y agoIBM has SoftLayer, which is fairly decent. Oracles/SAP are really not comparable.
- strictnein 10y agoSoftLayer is nice, but the enterprise giants are looking to host your ERM or HR capability and charge you $x million a year for it.
- user5994461 10y agoYes. SAP is doing SaaS for their entreprise-suite software. That's why I am saying it's not comparable to IaaS offerings from AWS/Azure/Google. It's a different business.
- strictnein 10y agoI work for one of those three. The amount of $1-$10 million contracts that come through for "enterprise cloud" software and services is amazing. For the division I work in, our usage is increasing upwards of 10% month over month. Maybe even faster, actually.
