I became a fan of Peter Fingar's abilities to take complex topics and reduce them to understandable, logical flows after reading his bookExtreme Competition.And now,Dot.Cloudserves up a crisp understanding of why cloud computing is critical, and where and how to apply it to gain true business benefits. --Andy Mulholland, CTO and author,Mashup CorporationsPeter Fingar does it again. His uncanny knack for bringing technology and society together to extrapolate the future never ceases to amaze me. Reading sections ofDot.Cloudhad me picturing him with crystal ball, reading the minds and secret product plans of cloud computing's finest visionaries. Every executive should read it. --George Barlow, CEO, Cloud HarborWithDot.Cloud,Peter again signals a sea change in how one can better deliver customer value by taking advantage of ''the Cloud,'' not only as a mode of delivery, but as a way of thinking about how organizations innovate and execute.The unique value proposition of this, and Peter's prior works, is that it doesn't focus on the technical aspects, but rather on how the Cloud can, and should, affect how organizations organize and behave; how they retain and engage their clients. If you want to adapt, survive and thrive in a world that has become location agnostic and expects ubiquitous solutions from you, read this book! --Richard Welke, Director of the Center for Process Innovation, Georgia State University --Richard Welke, Director of the Center for Process Innovation, Georgia State UniversityPeter Fingar does it again.
