This is a Guest Post of an excellent piece written and posted by Michael
Koploy, ERP Analyst, Software Advice, on his blog. Mobile Payments and Mobile

mind guest-posting. You can link to his post here, or simply read-on.

on CloudFoundry, Azure, and more with vendors, customers and other cloudy
folks.
Krishnan posted a very good article over on CloudAve, and at one level I
fully agree that PaaS will be come more of a data-centric (vs. code-centric)
animal over the next few years. To some degree that’s generally true of
all areas of IT – data, intelligence and action from data, etc. But there
