  11. “The price of doing the same old thing is far higher than the price of change”. (Bill Clinton) • Cloud computing has been around for more than a decade, and only in the last three years , businesses and consumers and businesses alike, have started understanding that the cloud offers a wide range of solutions to problems that plague most computer-users regularly. • There are approximately 40 million office 365 users world wide , and out of these 0.1% are in Israel. • In Israel we see a very slow adoption rate , due to the conservative nature of the society. • On the other hand , worldwide revenue from public IT cloud services exceeded $21.5 billion in 2010 and is believed to reach $72.9 billion in 2015 (Gartner) . • The challenge of our IT is to introduce, educate , install and build confidence in SaaS services from within. • Doing this we need to position SaaS as a core ingredient of the IT and not as a standalone phenomenon.
