Mark Albala witnessed something through a client that helps explain the cloud’s accent: The client bought a $25,000 product, and got a bill from their technology group of almost $150,000 to install it. Their response, essentially: “What is this s—-?” They’re now seriously considering SaaS.

“The understanding of why they shouldn’t establish multiple stovepipes,” he says, “is not going to be there.”

How does a responsible technology group remain responsible to its client and yet support the client? Tech groups can remember, he says, that they have to stay agile.
