Cloud computing models such as SaaS, IaaS and PaaS on the rise

In addition to investments in core ICT solutions, German enterprises are increasingly adopting technologies such as enterprise applications, business intelligence and security products. Similarly, the growing technological needs of enterprises are calling for investments in cloud computing services that can match the complex requirements of their current business environment.
