The Service Buzz!

The service buzz

Saas, Outsourcing, CMMI... Ringing any bell?

No?, Well, is all about services. Experts are saying that the money now is on services, on reaching the so called "long tail" of the market; on continue the revolution of the world ultimately transforming everything into a big service whose delivery platform will be know as THE MATRIX!!! :)
