SaaS - how to use a Software Delivery Platform

It's been a long summer hiatus, hopefully everyone enjoyed their summer as much as I did; finally back and ready to start posting on a regular basis.  

There have been a lot of discussions around Software as a Service and I've been doing a lot of presentations on "Software + Services" (I'll explain what I mean by that in a later blog post), but one SaaS area that hasn't been talked about much is how to enable more efficient software development through the conecpt of a Service Delivery Platform in a Saas hoster.  Gianpaolo and Fred discuss this in the latest issue of the Architecture Journal.
