In this Strategic Perspective, we discuss five key points along a spectrum of Cloud business solution offerings. Over time, as Cloud business solutions have evolved and deepened both in richness and complexity, it has become clear that the attractiveness of suite functionality, whether provided by a single vendor or through composite or integrated solutions, has increasingly appealed to buyers with a preference for simplifying their vendor management challenge.  Today the Cloud business solution buyer has a wide spectrum of offering types to consider:

• Pre-Integrated, Single-Function Suite
• Composite Cloud Solutions
• Tightly-Integrated, Cross-Functional Suite
