Are SaaS buyers likely to remain stubbornly nationalistic?
Reply Quote It is becoming increasingly speculated that Google’s strategy is not about putting all it’s eggs in the SaaS basket but in creating a seamless offline and online experience which, it is believed, could work something like this:- Google Desktop is used to synchronise your local drive with your GDrive (obviously still speculation but Google has publicly stated it is working towards 100% storage)If you’re working on your regular computer within an office environment, click a document and it opens up into OpenOffice Writer. If you’re working without access to desktop apps, on a public workstation for example, log into GDrive, click on the same document and it opens up in Writely. What interests me in all the speculation about Google’s and, to a lesser extent, Microsoft’s emerging strategies and SaaS activities is how quickly the conversation turns to both the security and privacy of data.
