Business impacts—the basics of CRM in the cloud
Businesses that choose to run business applications in the cloud can help reduce energy costs by 30–90 percent compared with inhouse, on-premises infrastructure.
MOMENTUM
Cloud computing continues to dominate the IT narrative. At the most basic definition, cloud computing delivers fast access to computing resources without investing in and maintaining infrastructure. In many cases, cloud solutions reduce staff training and simplify the labyrinth of software licensing.
According to a recent Gartner survey
Cloud-computing services are estimated to account for 10.2 percent of the total spending on external IT services this year.
Thirty-nine percent of IT budget managers indicated that cloud computing is a key initiative for their organization.
Forty-six percent plan to increase the use of cloud services.
In another survey conducted by Gartner of CTOs and CIOs, over 76 percent of respondents fully expected that CRM and productivity workloads would be procured from the cloud.
Flexibility and cost benefits of cloud solutions will continue to drive these trends. Gartner predicts that by 2012, 20 percent of all businesses will own no IT assets as they benefit from cloud-enabled services, server and desktop virtualization, and increased use of employeeowned PCs operating on corporate networks.
