A different Vegas. A very different Workday.

A different Vegas. A very different Workday.

The existential threat to on-premise models

The existential threat to on-premise models

By Vinnie Mirchandani on November 13, 2012

4 years ago when I interviewed Sridhar Vembu, CEO of Zoho for The New Polymath, the prime driver in the marketplace for SaaS adoption was better economics compared to on-premise.
