2014 enterprise cloud computing or SaaS E-mail to more than 10%

December 29th, 2011

According to Gartner, the end of 2014, cloud computing e-mail and collaboration services (CECS) of the adoption rate of nearly 10% in this way, there will be large-scale use and thus more than the critical point.

Gartner believes that the time for some enterprises, especially small businesses and low level of long-term service companies such as retail, healthcare and manufacturing sectors, in the next two years, at least some users will turn to CECS, analysis Teachers warn those who are ready for service providers and urged caution.

Gartner vice president Tom Austin said, Ultimately, we expect the next generation of CECS to be the dominant provider of communication and collaboration patterns. But today is not the dominant position, it will not be the only model, and will after a decade or more to play. Now, there are many reasons to CECS.

Therefore, Gartner CECS short-term projects that will reduce the rate of adoption. Analysts predict that most companies do not start turning until CECS 2014, when the market will be rapid growth, 2020 will be more than 55%.

Gartner has released a critical point, Gartner believes that, from 2012 to the end of 2014, there will be 10% of the enterprise market will use cloud computing or SaaS-based e-mail. Analysts said the company the transfer speed slower than expected for three reasons.

Austin said, The first is asset inertia. E-mail from their investment in the company to seek the greatest value. Second, senior IT managers to focus more on strategic initiatives that can help them to grow or to enterprise business to move to cloud computing or SaaS-based email service is a cost-saving initiatives. Finally, the supplier of CECS product availability sometimes they are talking about less than brilliant story.

further survey, when most companies have begun using CECS, they tend to keep smaller, dedicated, built-in system, so as to maintain better control of C-level content creation and management consumption – their communication is almost always subject to periodic review of laws and regulations.

Austin said, why companies may not want to take the forefront in the CECS for several reasons, at least one idea is based on harvest costs

, early adopters need to pay extra costs. However, cloud-based collaboration services seem to have an early price, and we expect the cost of CECS is in accordance with the cost curve, the purpose of investment in CECS is to reduce costs. Therefore, if the enterprise has CECS concept, you will find a lot of benefits, CECS also asked suppliers to ensure the continued price reductions.
