No single path, but including good emerging patterns for cloud computing, will help organizations move more easily to the cloud. "Organizations moving to the cloud should understand where they are, where they need to go, and the best technological path to get there. They must also be willing to understand the existing state of enterprise IT at the most primitive levels.

"The new battlefront is the cloud: Google Maps vs. Apple Maps, Siri vs. Google voice search, iCloud vs. Dropbox et al, and Google Now vs…well, nothing at all, yet.

Siri's voice search seems to be only one feature of what Google is making possible with its multilayered applications for a smartphone. "Can Apple match that?," Evans wonders, and "by the time they do, will Google have outstripped them again?"
