Scott Bils has a post on the «Five Mistakes that Enterprise Cloud Service Providers are Making» over on Leverhawk. Points four and five were particularly interesting because it seems there’s a synergistic opportunity there.
Point number four from Scott:
Omitting SaaS and PaaS: Cloud infrastructure service providers have little incentive to migrate customers to public cloud SaaS offerings such as Salesforce.com or Workday. For many customers, migrating legacy apps to SaaS models will be the right answer. Many enterprise cloud service providers conveniently omit this lever from their transformation story and lose customer credibility as a result.
