I found a very useful model for the potential value of cloud computing, which distinguishes three value areas.  As the cloud aligns the time and the size of investments with the value you receive, cloud computing delivers an economic value. You don’t need to spend millions of Euros for it-infrastructure today and receive the revenue years later! The architectural value of cloud computing is the simple and abstract environment, that hides the complexity. That makes it easier and faster to develop and deploy applications. The strategic value concentrates on the organization effectiveness. It helps your organization to differentiate from others and focus on the processes that really add value to your business.

Do you think this model can be useful? Do you see any other cloud values which should be captured by the model?
