AEC Software, CRMOctober 6, 2011Large Enterprises Let Go of Fear: Cloud Computing War Ends site admin[et_pb_section bb_built=”1″][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.20.2″]Since I started building cloud solutions in 1995, I have had to constantly fight the battle for cloud computing over the old-school way of hosting apps locally. It’s gratifying to finally see validation and adoption by many large companies who used to be naysayers. A recent article in Forbes discussed a new survey of 900 executives and finds that:The majority, 81%, say their organizations have already moved at least some business activities to the cloud and expect 2012 investment “to skyrocket, with some companies planning to spend more than a fifth of their IT budget on cloud next year,” the study finds.Market Watch expands on this surge by adding that:The software-as-a-service customer relationship management (or, SaaS CRM) market–already representing 570,000 U.S. SMB firms–is set to undergo double-digit year-over-year growth in the next five years. During this period, spending on SaaS CRM will outpace on-premise CRM by a margin of nearly four to one.This trend has resulted in tremendous growth for Cosential and fewer conversations defending the cloud. As a company that is always integrating and implementing new technologies, we are often faced with skeptics.When the fear of change subsides, the users win, their processes improve, and people’s lives get a little better.Interested in learning more about how Cosential can help your firm stay on top of your personnel records?
