2007 a year of Hyperdisruption

Source: snapvoip.blogspot.com

I was at an IDC conference in San Francisco this morning. There were a few analysts presented visions of the future for software development and IT in general.
Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), Software as a Service (SaaS), the growth in the SMB IT marketplace, were the main topics that were covered or the ones that I paid attention.
IDC also released a free version of the paper that sums up the discussions and views.
What I see glowing in the darkness is the SMB market that needs to wakeup. Once it wake up it will need to communicate. No further than the word communication lies th modus of convergence.
So in this SMB convergence space, what does it mean for an IP Telephony or VoIP company. I think the free paper is good starting point and then it is up to you to go further.
