There is no getting around the fact that cloud services are catching on as a proven delivery model in business management applications, such as Enterprise Resouce Planning (ERP). Spanning small companies to large, IDC sees cloud services delivery significantly outpacing traditional software product delivery over the next five years, with private cloud growing nearly five times faster than the software market as a whole, becoming a significant growth driver in all functional software markets.
