Google’s Chrome OS: Reaching for the Cloud and SaaS

For me, Google's Chrome OS is a MASSIVE deal as it basically acknowledges the death of traditional desktop applications in favour of SaaS as everything moves to the cloud. I know it won't be an overnight transition but when a giant like Google make such a bold move, surely people will see that SaaS really is the way forward.

Cloud Confusion Amongst IT Professionals

Here are the results from a survey of senior UK IT directors and managers about Cloud Computing. Alarmingly 41% of them admitted that they "didn’t know" what Cloud Computing is!!! Even more reason for us all to get out there and clear up this confusion.

SaaS gives SMEs the power to ride out recession

Investing more in software as a service (SaaS) and enterprise resource planning (ERP) could help smaller businesses lower their operating costs and help them grow in spite of the recession.

SaaS skips the Great Recession

Let's face it, entrepreneurs want to get rich. And the people who bankroll them -- angel investors, venture capitalists and, yes, even banks -- want to get even richer. But what's a money-hungry capitalist to do in times like these? Weep? Wail? Wish for the good ol' IPO days?

No. Go SaaS.
