Working Up

by Dwayne Phillip

The whatever-as-a-service has gotten a bit out of hand.

I have lost track of where we are in the world of XaaS. Software as a Service was one of the early ones for me. Then I heard of Infrastructure as a Service (does that mean rebuilding roads and bridges? Perhaps not.) I have recently heard of Desktop as a Service. I am not sure what that is, but it has a ring to it.

What else could we put in XaaS? This does get silly after a while, oh wait,

• Silly as a Service
• Comedy as a Service
• Entertainment  as a Service
• Sports  as a Service
• Transportation as a Service

Hey didn’t someone already invent all these things? Is this all about hucksters trying to make a buck?
