As A Service
X as a service (XaaS) has been booming in software—but not only. Rolls Royce aircraft engines are available as a service since 1989 (http://rrpf.rolls-royce.com/RRPF/); car leasing (and in fact leasing of industrial equipment) is a normality. But imagine for a second every thing would be turned into a service … what would happen?
I think:
- Technology will decrease in cost.
- Service will cost the same or even increase in price.
In other words: service providers will be able to keep the difference. That’s probably the reason, why XaaS has a good chance to get credits from banks these days.
