The most difficult part here is probably around integrations. As you point out, piggy-backing on some existing system is one way to make that easier, but it makes it hard to replace core parts of the system, and it makes the SaaS model far less attractive. I think it's a great idea where it can work, but you're not going to replace the SAP/Oracle deployments themselves that way, or the legacy mainframes.
