Most Indian SMEs wish to adopt cloud computing
MUMBAI: Ninety per cent of SMEs in the country feel cloud
adoption is increasingly important to enable business
success to innovate as well as do things faster, smarter and
more sustainably, according to a Circle Research Global
Report sponsored by SAP SE released today. The total
addressable market is expected to grow to $88 billion by
2017 and hence Indian small and medium enterprises
(SMEs) look for cloud, analytics and mobile solutions to
improve operations and become more efficient, the report
said. "SMEs have greater opportunities than before to
expand and diversify. They utilise technology to support
business growth and achieve operational excellence," SAP's
president for Asia-Pacific Japan, Adaire Fox-Martin said.
