The point of the presentation was less about any one of these individual disruptors and more about the exploding effect of all of them across the breadth of the software industry. It was also about the likelihood that they all mature at about the same time (in the next five years) causing massive disruption to a market that has been relatively stable since Y2K (vendors and users alike). This presentation was a lead-in to many other presentations at the event in Orlando where each of these disruptors, their effects on market providers and users along with user advice were covered in depth.

They’re a legacy player that has been stuck in the “Oldsmobile” phase of IT and networking. In fact, they recently proudly announced that they’ve “allowed” their analysts to write blogs on their website. Enough said.
