I did my homework and if you do a bit of research and look for analyst information´s of trusted sources like gardner you see, that cloud computing and cloud services are the future.

See source link of Gartner: https://www.gartner.com/doc/2718918?ref=SiteSearch&sthkw=cloud%20search%20services&fnl=search&srcId=1-3478922254

This overview provides a high-level description of the Cloud Computing Innovation Key Initiative. Use this guide to understand what you need to do to prepare for this initiative.

Strategic Planning Assumptions
By 2015, 50% of all new application independent software vendors will be pure SaaS providers.

Through 2015, more than 90% of private cloud computing deployments will be for infrastructure as a service.

By 2015, 50% of large global enterprises will rely on external cloud computing services for at least one of their top 10 revenue-generating processes.

By 2016, all large global enterprises will use some level of public cloud services.

By 2016, most SaaS contracts will include price escalation limitations and the ability to terminate contracts.

By 2017, over 50% of large SaaS application providers will offer matching business process services and an integrated platform as a service.

Through 2017, 5% of all IT job turnover will be fallout from poor risk decisions about the use of public cloud computing.

Through 2017, 80% of large enterprises will restrict their private cloud data center services to less than 20% of their total data center services.

Through 2020, the most common use of cloud services will be a hybrid model combining on-premises and external cloud services.

Technology Providers
There are many cloud providers. Representative players include:

Amazon — Offerings include cloud system infrastructure service Amazon Web Services (AWS).
