Cloud Grows, Creates Unbalance in ITCloud computing is becoming more popular among businesses and consumers, and, as a result, it is beginning to take control and shape the IT industry. As the technology becomes more prevalent, it will inevitably reach what CloudTweak's Ray DePena is calling its "tipping point."
Cloud computing is expected to continue to develop and grow, which will eventually lead to an unbalanced IT industry. This effect will cause many traditional software providers to either change their business models or collapse under the weight of the cloud, DePena continued.
When this happens, the tipping point will be reached. This point describes the moment when dental practices need to make a decision and either continue using unsupported software, find an alternative provider - which will be difficult and expensive - or migrate to the ever-popular cloud and online dental software, .
The cloud is showing no signs of slowing down, according to a number of market research organizations. For example, Forrester predicts that the SaaS market will be one of the largest contributors to cloud growth, increasing from $33 billion in 2012 to more than $132 billion in 2020.
