As businesses look for software that meets the demands of a modern working environment, they are increasingly using cloud computing and mobile technology. Cloud computing really took off in 2011:
- SaaS (Software as a Service) became the norm in many IT departments with a reported increase of use from 47% to 60%. As IT departments grow larger and span continents, the ability to use programs online on any computer anywhere in the world is a much more attractive prospect than installing or building software infrastructure.
- Mobile Computing is now huge. Smartphones and tablets now outsell desktops as users want access to the internet everywhere they are.
- Cloud Computing has also become a popular solution for businesses running out of server space – the cloud has even become a personal product for the first time thanks to Google and iCloud.
