A case for three parallels. Two models have become the most popular outsourcing options prevalent globally today: shared services, and third-party provisioning, alongside arange of other models across the spectrum spanning these two, driven either by a distinct pursuit for value, risk avoidance, co-creation or some form of mutuality (vested in a short-to-medium-term future outlook).
Most such models have been (and continue to be) complex to structure, manage and sustain, hence their applicability has been limited to really complex global endeavours. On the other hand, locations don’t normally see themselves contributing to any model other than the two most popular ones. Nevertheless, the beginnings of this industry are important to appreciate as it has gone through six distinct cycles of “shifts”. An understanding of such shifts (driven predominantly by influences/trends from outside the industry) is crucial if one is to appreciate the complexity seen today.

CloudCar. Xively – Public Cloud for the Internet of Things. Spime. Spime is a neologism for a currently theoretical object that can be tracked through space and time throughout its lifetime.
The name "spime" for this concept was coined by author Bruce Sterling. Sterling sees spimes as coming through the convergence of six emerging technologies, related to both the manufacturing process for consumer goods, and through identification and location technologies.* "Spime" was probably first used in a large public forum by Sterling at SIGGRAPH Los Angeles, August 2004. The idea was further expanded upon in Shaping Things. These six facets of spimes are: With all six of these, one could track the entire existence of an object, from before it was made (its virtual representation), through its manufacture, its ownership history, its physical location, until its eventual obsolescence and breaking-down back into raw material to be used for new instantiations of objects.

The site was only available to Googlers, but all were encouraged to add their own Jeff Dean facts.
