Any implementation of cloud services for the enterprise must strike a balance between rapidly implementing a solution and a solution of increasing complexity and cost.
I like Sreedhar’s observation that the established enterprise would need to leverage cloud IT services differently than a larger enterprise. I do agree that there is probably a well-defined set of startup services that can shorten the time necessary to both establish an development environment and get useful functionality out of the other end.
I think that the assertion that cloud will result in a reduction of complexity is arguable.
