In fact, it is only a matter of time before the major enterprise software vendors cannibalize their own software delivery models to protect their market share: they will persist with the current enterprise licensing models for as long as they can. When the well runs dry, they will move quickly to not only offer new pricing alternatives but claim that they supported alternative pricing all along. Cynical? Not really. Proprietary software vendors have charged as much as they could for their products and services for as long as they could, for decades.

The movement of data center responsibility from internally serviced centers to centers in the cloud describes the journey that software has taken over the decades, not to mention the journey that pricing has taken over the same period. We see more pay-by-the-drink pricing models, even if the drink only takes a few minutes or seconds. So where will software applications come from? Just about everywhere. Software design and development will be shared and distributed among software engineers and business analysts using tools and techniques that the industry will provide as part of the ongoing march toward openness and interoperability.

SAP (and others) has perfected the “do-IT-my-way” approach to software design: they, as many others, have embedded rigid processes into their applications and declared that the really “smart” users of their software will learn to adapt to the embedded processes versus customizing their near-perfect applications. Company after company deployed SAP (and other enterprise resource planning [ERP]) software and then wrestled with the process changes necessary to optimize the use of the applications. Enhanced functionality comes in the form of releases where the proprietary vendor decides which new features will be released and when they will be released and supported by the supreme creator of the software.
