Cloud computing has completely transformed the Information and Communication Technology industry. It delivers major benefits including low upfront costs, subscription-based pricing, universal access, and ease of implementation on an international scale.

These benefits play a critical role for many businesses, especially those in the small-to-midsize-business category. Initially, cloud computing was used for those with low business or scope. However, today an entire organization can run on a cloud based enterprise resource planning, also known as ERP.

The cloud has offered all software vendors a way to rethink how business applications can be deployed and leveraged.
