2012年科技大勢預(yù)測
企業(yè)收購層出不窮 ????Salesforce.com是一家為網(wǎng)絡(luò)社交型企業(yè)提供CRM軟件和云計(jì)算解決方案的公司。傳統(tǒng)的科技巨頭最終終于接受了這家公司的理念,那就是利用遠(yuǎn)程計(jì)算機(jī)服務(wù)器來為其他公司提供商業(yè)軟件服務(wù)。眼前就有很好的例子:IBM公司以4.4億美元的價(jià)格收購了基于云計(jì)算的數(shù)據(jù)分析公司DemandTec;SAP公司以34億美元的價(jià)格收購了人力資源軟件公司SuccessFactors;甲骨文公司(Oracle)則以15億美元買入了基于云計(jì)算的產(chǎn)品搜索和客戶服務(wù)公司RightNow科技。未來,此類收購還會(huì)不斷發(fā)生,因?yàn)檫@些企業(yè)都開始進(jìn)一步意識(shí)到了軟件向依托于網(wǎng)絡(luò)的產(chǎn)品和服務(wù)轉(zhuǎn)變已是大勢所趨。 |
