If this guy is under the impression that the only requirement for the 
sorts of modelling that requires a supercomputer is access to said 
supercomputer, then he must be a hardware expert.

If he thinks that an SME will have access to the highly trained people 
who do this sort of modelling well (there's always the keen amateur to 
risk their business on) then I suspect he's in for a big surprise.

It looks to me like yet another cloud solution looking for a problem.
