Our analysis indicates that the total value of the global cloud computing services market revenues reach $35.6 billion by the end of 2013, driven by increasing adoption of cloud services from the enterprise side.

Companies are often held back by an inflexible and complex IT infrastructure that cannot keep up with the evolving needs of business. These restraints result in slow deployment of critical applications and services, limited resources, poor operation management, and unpredictable system integration. Yet cloud computing appears as a very lucrative and commercially interesting solution for many companies.

Undeniably, cloud computing is already transforming the business landscape, and will continue to do so as it matures. Although cloud computing is not a new concept, it has emerged as a significant commercial success over the past few years. Cloud computing will play an increasingly important role in the business segment as future systems will further exploit the capabilities offered by this technology.
