Have you found financial business models for cloud computing initiatives?
From a software developer and business perspective, a transition from traditional business model to a business model will have to be carefully planned. Have you seen any financial modeling solutions to this and if so, where did you find them?

I'm also interested in this. I just purchased a book:
Cloud: Seven Clear Business Models
Have not yet received or read it, but waiting to get more educated about the subject.

I just participated in a cloud session.. there is lots of stuff from transaction pricing perspective, but nothing from company profitablity perspective. that is what should be also discussed about..

I agree. I have also seen transaction and resource utilization cost of several clouds, but it would be more interesting to read about how they have reflected to real world business cases or lead to new business models (the transition point included).

Hi Mika,
I think what is happening is that cloud vendors are not focused on this, but as an ISV the first question should be "how will I be impacted of this and if so, what is the conseqence on my cash-flow and revenue". Lots of unanswered questions..
