The study covered case studies involving organisations employing a variety of cloud applications including Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Human Capital Management (HCM), Customer Relationship Management (CRM) as well as Workforce Management, Supply Chain Management, Content Management and Platform as a Service (PaaS).

Some of the biggest savings were found during the consulting and implementation phase, where costs for the cloud were 63 percent lower than for on-premise implementations. In yet another significant cloud advantage, following the implementation of a cloud-based solution, companies spend 55 percent less on personnel to support cloud-based applications as opposed to on-premise.
