SaaS is the de facto way of doing business for the SMB (and even for the enterprise). The costs of building your own infrastructure and maintaining it are just too high for most. Instead, it is easier and more cost effective to let someone else handle it. Buying a spot in Amazon Webs Service, Google Cloud Platform, or Microsoft Azure it not complicated and the tools to help you set up your new business infrastructure are well done (if not always well documented). When you use these services, you do expect them to provide security, but what you may find out is that not all cloud vendors think that should come as part of the package. In fact, many look at them as little more than a way to gain extra revenue and not something that just should be done.

SAP has released their quarterly results of operations more than a week earlier than scheduled, but they are far below analysts' expectations. The company has in the final quarter of last year operated with 5.06 billion euros in revenues, which is increase of 12% over the previous year, but less than analysts' expectations, which were around 5.17 billion euros. Simultaneously operative earnings rose 10%, to 1.96 billion euros.
