A new study by Microsoft commissioned by IDC suggests that cloud computing services will help create millions of of new jobs in the coming years. IDC estimates that last year alone, it cloud computing services have helped organizations of all sizes and all vertical industries around the world generate more than 40 billion dollars in revenue and 1.5 million new jobs. John· F. Gantz, co-author of the IDC White Paper, wrote: "In the next four years, the number of new jobs will exceed 8.8 million." "By 2015, this figure will increase further to 1.38 billion dollars."

The IDC model includes a variety of factors, including the size of IT spending, the regulatory environment for industries and companies, and the technical infrastructure of the country and city. This model shows that it innovation leads to higher revenues, which translates into new job opportunities. In the 2011, the industry that spent most of its budget on public cloud computing IT services (as a percentage of its overall IT budget) included professional services companies, insurance and the transportation industry. Utilities and government rank lowest. Some industries, such as banks and telecoms, are not necessarily quick to adopt the cloud computing model, which will be a market in "2015 with over 1 million cloud-related jobs." ”

The study concludes that cloud computing will help companies pare down the limitations imposed by the client/server model-which means that there is no need to buy a lot of upfront investment in the infrastructure to solve business problems. Emerging markets, small cities and small businesses are more likely to benefit from cloud computing than large or developed countries.
