IBMS VIEW OF ON-DEMAND SOFTWARE DELIVERY

On Demand Business is the current (2005) slogan of IBM and SalesForce.com.
The IBM On Demand glossary {Link without Title} gives the following definition of an on demand business: ''A company whose business processes—integrated end-to-end across the company and with key partners, suppliers and customers—can respond with flexibility and speed to any customer demand, market opportunity or external threat. An on demand business has four key attributes: it is responsive, variable, focused, resilient and based on flexible software delivery to power the business.''

Oracle has also intiated an Oracle On demand offer.
