Development organizations are facing a challenge
– the transformation of tools vendors into SaaS-only companies.
What does this mean?
What used to be true since the peak times of client/server software is no longer valid.

Particularly system engineering companies or enterprises from other regulated industries still fear to put their crown jewels and unique secrets into Cloud solutions. Typical concerns are
To cut a long story short – psychological barriers are way more often the real causes for not evaluating the cloud options. Perceived lack of control, the reduction within support teams and the elimination of owned infrastructure cause heartburn.

Teams are no longer forced to do standard tasks like backup, firedrills, updates and patches (see above), but can focus an evolving the entire setup focus on the setup rather than managing the bare metal hardware. Distributed teams are enabled to collaborate more easily, faster and benefit from the latest features that become available without disturbing downtimes for maintenance. The right cloud strategy for development organizations will help to transform and unleash resources to focus on the content instead of administration.
