Often what looks like overnight success is actually the result of years of hard, grinding work.
Look around today and you might think that cloud computing in the enterprise is some new thing that's happened overnight. Giants like SAP have been caught flat-footed and are playing catch-up. Microsoft is struggling to turn the ship. But those guys remind me of the castle guards in the Lancelot skit from Monty Python and the Holy Grail:
They've seen their attacker coming for a while, they've just misjudged its speed and distance.
"Ha-HA!!"
Cloud computing in the enterprise isn't an overnight success. It's been coming for a long time. And it's moving really fast.
