An IDC survey of members of the International Association of Microsoft Certified Partners suggests high expectations for software as a service.
IDC says 76 percent of solution providers who responded believe that SAAS will dramatically impact the partnering landscape, and more than 70 percent of solution providers view it as an opportunity. Solution providers believe that the most profitable opportunities related to SAAS will be in the area of deployment and implementation services.
But solution providers are also looking forward to the recurring revenue opportunity that comes with the SAAS business model.
SAP, Microsoft, Cisco Systems and IBM are among the application providers expected to be active in 2008.
