Cloud Computing and Software as a Service (SaaS) $160 Billion Market Opportunity. MIT Enterprise Forum of the Central Coast. Cloud computing is estimated to be a $160 billion market opportunity by 2011 (Merrill Lynch). Learn how to exploit this huge opportunity as an entrepreneur and use the paradigm shift to benefit existing businesses. The applications segment (a.k.a. "software as a service", "SaaS" or "on-demand") is a popular way to access, use and pay for business support software and provides a viable business model in this emerging field of cloud computing. This program, presented by Dr. Klaus Schauser, a serial entrepreneur currently serving as Chief Strategist of Appfolio, together with a panel of experts in various aspects of cloud computing, is for both entrepreneurs looking to enter this market and potential users of cloud computing as a cost effective delivery mechanism for business software and systems.
