Industry Clouds & the Market Shift Happening Under our Noses | Uphoff on Industry

The Big Themes:


The embrace of vertical approaches is bigger than
go-to-market: companies are looking to software not just to
address functional problems, but to solve business challenges and
transform business models

Massive internal reorganizations are coming: in addition to
new and surprising partnerships like Microsoft and Oracle on
multi-cloud, Tony expects both customer and vendors to deeply
evolve their structures and operations

The Big Quote: "Oftentimes, market transitions are sort of so

wake up and you go, 'Oh, I should have paid attention to this.'"
