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. Apart from software as a service (SaaS), enterprises in Germany are also keen to invest in other cloud computing models including infrastructure as a service (IaaS) and platform as a service (PaaS). Kable estimates that in Germany, the IaaS market will increase from US$1.2 billion in 2015 to US$5 billion in 2019, growing at a CAGR of 42.4%.
