Figure 57: The Practicality Gap, introduced in 2007 as a tool to create a worksheet of enablers and inhibitors for new technology. The inhibitors are in red, and enablers in green; related technologies and companies are in blue. Other factors can be added to the model, but we do see CAD in the Cloud negotiating the Practicality Gap with advantages on its side (Kathleen Maher) | 92 |
Figure 58: Taking a conservative approach, we used the insights from our survey and applied it to a subset of our CAD user database, assuming not all users will see CiC as valuable. We believe the first movers will also be implementing cloud based tools in information management and CAD becomes part of that information base. | 93 |
