The OnDemand Fight is getting bigger and better. With the release of Hydrazine from Sun microsystems, the list of big players trying to get into the OnDemand space has become longer. What this proves is that OnDemand is here to stay and all the big players want a piece of the OnDemand Market.
But what is OnDemand, why is it that there are so many companies trying to get into OnDemand space and why is there so much competition?
OnDemand is a convenient new delivery model ( Software as a service) where the vendor will host the IT application maintain and enhance it. This is the most cost- effective and hassle- free way for a organization to go for an IT application.
Customers have begun to accept this model are migrating in big numbers to OnDemand applications.
This has encouraged all the big players to come out with innovative OnDemand applications. Gmail and Yahoo! have e-mail OnDemand. Google has many other OnDemand applications like blogs, calendar, chat, document management desktop etc...
Salesforce has started with serious applications like CRM, which was quickly followed by IBM, Oracle with their own set of applications. IBM came up with platform OnDemand. Oracle has both platform OnDemand and CRM OnDemand. SAP has their OnDemand ERP (SAP by design). Microsoft has recently launched Live Mesh(CRM application). Sun has revealed their plans for OnDemand application.
There are lot of other companies which are getting into Ondemand space with niche applications.
With so much competition and so many launches this space is getting to be a lot more interesting and fascinating. Waiting to see more launches. :)
