As more and more businesses run applications in the cloud, we're starting to hear about mainstream software from the likes of IBM and Oracle running on Amazon EC2.
There are strong privacy and security controls in place around each AWS customer account, and accordingly there's no way for us to gain a sense of who and how many organizations are doing this. If your organization fits this profile--especially if you run either IBM or Oracle--we'd love to hear from you. Please drop us a note at awseditor at amazon dot com, or simply leave a private comment here.

Unfortunately, Microsoft and Amazon did not join the group found by IBM. But I think this is not bad, because customers have more choice.

I wonder if you need to change your customer account architecture to suit company accounts, now that you are offering services that are very different to online shopping.

I agree with Paul, we tried to setup an AWS account for the entire computing department to allow students to experiment with it - but that meant students could login and order books using the same account (the credit card company would not accept this). Some sort of subaccounts are needed that only work on AWS and not on the main amazon.com site.

We'll run on Amazon EC2 our own ERP and CRM solutions for the portuguese and spanish market. There are based on Oracle Database and Oracle Application Server. The technologies we use are Oracle Database, Oracle Forms and Reports, Oracle Apex.
