I became a fan of Peter Fingar's abilities to take complex topics and reduce them to understandable, logical flows after reading his book
Extreme Competition. And now,
Dot.Cloud serves up a crisp understanding of why cloud computing is critical, and where and how to apply it to gain true business benefits. --Andy Mulholland, CTO and author,
Mashup Corporations Peter Fingar does it again. His uncanny knack for bringing technology and society together to extrapolate the future never ceases to amaze me. Reading sections of
Dot.Cloud had me picturing him with crystal ball, reading the minds and secret product plans of cloud computing's finest visionaries. Every executive should read it. --George Barlow, CEO, Cloud Harbor
With
Dot.Cloud, Peter again signals a sea change in how one can better deliver customer value by taking advantage of ''the Cloud,'' not only as a mode of delivery, but as a way of thinking about how organizations innovate and execute.
The unique value proposition of this, and Peter's prior works, is that it doesn't focus on the technical aspects, but rather on how the Cloud can, and should, affect how organizations organize and behave; how they retain and engage their clients. If you want to adapt, survive and thrive in a world that has become location agnostic and expects ubiquitous solutions from you, read this book! --Richard Welke, Director of the Center for Process Innovation, Georgia State University --Richard Welke, Director of the Center for Process Innovation, Georgia State University

Customer Reviews & Comments
I've read most of Peter Fingar's books. He writes on topics at the intersection of business and technology and always keeps you one step ahead. He wrote a best-seller on e-commerce at the onset of the dot-com boom, followed by a book that came out just before the dot-com crash, "The Death of `e' and the Birth of the Real New Economy." His book on business process management helped launch the BPM movement that is center stage in the world of business today. With his background as a computer science professor and long-time practitioner in business, he brings insights that only deep knowledge and experience can offer. Not surprisingly, Fingar now has his head in the clouds, describing the cusp of a new era in business technology. I only recommend this book to business people who want to survive in this new era, and to technical people wanting to educate their business counterparts.
