''On-demand''—or
''adaptive,'' ''agile'' or other terms being used by major vendors
includes the combination of business models, processes and operations
that are enabled by and which require these IT resources. This
concept is therefore more of an overall business strategy, including
not just the availability of IT resources ''on-demand,'' but the
ability to build, change, adapt and manage business operations using
and leveraging the ready availability and variable capabilities of
utility computing.
