Developers, SMBs, ISVs are facing an emerging paradigm in software delivery.The dynamics of this evolution are evident by considering the trends and forces of clients' motivation.

• reducing or eliminating overhead of everything which does not directly result in improved profit
• focusing all resources on competency
