Gartner Group just annouced that worldwide cloud services revenue is forecast to reach USD 68.3 billion in 2010, a 16.6 percent increase from 2009 revenue of USD 58.6 billion. They expect that industry to be poised for strong growth through 2014, when worldwide cloud services revenue is projected to reach USD 148.8 billion. Though we at Docupace don't necessarily have the same reach as a Gartner Group, we have definitely noticed that clients are rapidly embracing the idea of outsourcing more and more of their operational services. In following that logic, Ben Pring at Gartner said "The scale of application deployments is growing; multi-thousand-seat deals are increasingly common. IT managers are thinking strategically about cloud service deployments; more-progressive enterprises are thinking through what their IT operations will look like in a world of increasing cloud service leverage. This was highly unusual a year ago." We certainly agree.
