Mike Kavis, however, sees something entirely different: amazing opportunities bubbling beneath the surface and ready to explode across the business landscape. He says we have entered a 'golden era of innovation, ' and he is spot on. Never before have so many resources been available to successfully launch and run a business, at relatively little cost. We are seeing an entire generation of businesses and business leaders coming on the scene who know only cloud, and are able to quickly experiment or act on new ideas, moving nimbly through their markets. This isn't just a world for startups, as larger enterprises are also learning to embrace 'cloud culture.' But, as with any promising technology, it takes a keen sense of architecture and understanding of the organization to get it right. In this book, Mike provides a roadmap--and inspiration--to begin the journey to become a cloud-enabled enterprise.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e--Joe McKendrick, independent analyst and contributor to \u003ci\u003eForbes\u003c\/i\u003e and CBS interactive ZDNet\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMICHAEL J.
