Almost every CAD vendor has plans for the cloud. Not all expect their customers to work
solely in the cloud but they all have or are planning a strong cloud component. Probably
the most common line of thought is a hybrid approach. However, we will also say that
given the path of software development throughout the industry we do believe software in
general will one day be delivered in the cloud.
Customers are not so sure. In general, there is still considerable angst about the
possibility of essential software moving to the cloud, but we have seen from adjacent
fields that customers will adapt more quickly than they think at first.
Based on the results of our CAD in the Cloud survey, coupled with the aggressive moves
some vendors are making towards cloud-based provisioning of applications and services,
we believe the report reveals a potential for faster acceptance of cloud-based workflows
than we previously thought.
And many more...
