Individual applications begin to erode and give way to "mash-ups" and situational applications in
The Cloud. Development migrates naturally away from technical specialists to functional experts
and better enhancement, usability and adoption of individual applications is witnessed.
That doesn't mean that excellence in functional design is fleeting, it simply means that more
thought must be devoted to the overall Cloud Strategy and Architecture. It starts with a top notch
data model and accounts for new services and integration points that may not even exist yet. In the
Cloud, data management is everything, so Data Conversion is the natural starting point and
foundation. The implication is that a good functional design and data design lead to success.
