Perspective Summary:

Cloud-based development is suddenly a viable alternative to on-premise development targeting traditional computing platforms.  Salesforce is one of the most visible platforms enabling cloud-based development, along with NetSuite. And the trend is growing to include a wide array of platform players including, for example, Bungee Labs, Coghead, Comrange, DreamFactory, Facebook, Iceberg on Demand, and IT Factory.

SaaS platform capabilities have evolved through three stages:

1. Integration - ecosystem partner integration via APIs and integration of SaaS  solutions with on-premise applications,

2. Customization - customization of SaaS solution UI and logic via APIs and scripting toolkits,

3. Development - cloud-based development of enterprise applications and SaaS solutions.
