In launching cloud practices with NetSuite, Accretive Solutions, ADN Corp., Corporate Renaissance Group, Sabre Solutions and The TM Group are addressing rapidly rising demand for Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications that offer businesses the flexibility and scalability for rapid growth without the high capital costs, lengthy implementations and ongoing upgrades and troubleshooting required with traditional on-premise systems.
