Ranked as one of the top CIO trends and strategic imperatives for 2012, enterprise adoption of cloud computing services continues to outpace traditional IT services growth. Yet cloud market growth is just beginning. Enterprise IT organizations are expected to shift much larger portions of their budgets to cloud services in 2012 and 2013.

However, enterprises have challenging requirements and most aren't interested in eliminating their existing datacenters. Rather, they want to leverage and protect their existing datacenter investments by integrating public cloud resources with on-premises infrastructure. They expect real service level agreements that are consistently met. They also demand efficiency and economics through self-service interfaces and APIs. As a service provider, your objective is to quickly and cost-effectively build competitive cloud services that meet these needs.

At the same time, you have challenges of your own. Established commodity cloud service providers are already disrupting the industry, threatening existing business models and profitability. However, even with this urgency, it is difficult to find the time and expertise to build your own, differentiated cloud services.
