"Enterprises continue to transition IT dollars away from premise solutions and towards the cloud, and we remain surprised that only a few premises-based vendors have significant revenue from cloud offerings, with the remaining premises vendors being slow to create such offerings," wrote Alan Weckel, vice president of enterprise telephony market research at Dell'Oro Group. "This is very similar to the early days of IP [http://www.broadbandtechreport.com/in-the-network/ipv6.html], where the market direction was clear but vendors were unwilling to change. During the next five years, we expect vendors to focus heavily on the cloud market and to look at both selling equipment to support cloud build-outs and towards creating stand-alone cloud offerings."
