Two or three times per year, Ars runs surveys in order to help us better understand what kinds of stories you all want to read about. ITDMs-that is, "IT decision makers," the folks in IT who participate in discussions on what technologies companies should invest in-are a particular area of focus for us, because you make up such a large percentage of the Ars audience and because on your shoulders rest a tremendous amount of influence and responsibility.

And it's that time of year again! We've got another survey fresh out of the oven, and if you're an ITDM, we'd love your input. You can jump right into the survey without even reading any further by clicking right here, or you can read on a bit, and I'll set the stage.

Services, services everywhere...

This time around, I'd like to pick your collective brain on how your company is approaching (or not approaching) transitioning various IT services from old-school centralized datacenter hosting to new-fangled X-as-a-service offerings. Given the breadth of hosted platforms and the rapid infiltration of the hybrid cloud concept into mainstream businesses, the "X" in "X-as-a-service" can at this point stand for almost anything-and I'd like to know your opinions on whether you think your company is striking the right balance between clinging to the datacenter and embracing the quickly growing (for better or worse) standard of anything-as-a-service.
