The reading process, and being concise, is just as important. To really vet the content, a software product was just not going to do it alone. Maybe a combination of things is the answer.

There is no doubt that software as a service has become a driving force within the software industry. Indications are that customer adoption will continue over the next five years and spending will remain on the rise. The software industry must adopt a new frame of reference for value creation.
