The cloud will have a big impact on job creation worldwide. According to a new study released on February 2012 by IDC (commissioned by Microsoft,) cloud computing will create almost 14 million jobs worldwide by 2015, spread equally among small businesses and large enterprises.
Aside from the typical benefits of cloud computing adoption, such as increased productivity, reduced IT costs and revved-up innovations, businesses are also going to the cloud to improve how they work with partners and customers.
