Then I saw this one: It shows the results of an IDC study predicting that the cloud will generate 664,000 jobs in 2012 and 1.09 million jobs in 2015. Staggering!
It’s just so cool to be able to digest a ton of information in a single image that fits on an 8 ½ by 11 page. So I started searching for more, specifically looking for infographics related to the cloud, ERP or CRM.
