Right now we are at the stage where SaaS is displacing the old work horses in large and medium scale enterprises. But ultimately it will not be about replacing horse carriages by cars (although that will happen), but about making a Model T affordable to a whole new class of buyers. It will be about market expansion, not displacement. The market expansion will come from selling to networks of micro-firms. So while I agree with your prediction that high profile executive departures will force OldAppCos to take SaaS more seriously, they’ll only play the minimize-displacement game. I don’t see any of them gearing up to play the expansion game. As you suggest, the SaaS saga is still unfolding.

In retrospect I could probably take them off my list and it wouldn't matter, but habits are hard to break... :) I guess I include IBM because they are ultimately a consulting company driving hardware and software sales.

Is it a case of history repeating itself? Why include IBM which is making some plays in this area? Is it your view that those at the top are only paying lip service to SaaS? Why would SOMI wait?
