The Cloud Skyrockets
What’s all the fluff about cloud computing? There are plenty of reasons it’s the most talked-about trend in technology. Starting with the fact that it helps reduce the up-front capital needed to build IT infrastructure and develop software. Cloud services are so appealing that the total market is expected to nearly triple from 2010 to 2016.[1] (Yep, you read that right.)
Of course, technology companies have clamored to add cloud computing to their repertoires, leading to lots of M&A activity. Software and Internet deals represented 57% of transactions closed in 2012, a figure that has grown steadily over the last two years.[2] All of which leaves the cloud looking like a lot more than a passing storm.
