Jeffrey M Kaplan, a leading light in the industry of cloud computing, asserted that people are turning to business management software such as project management software for the same reasons as their business unit counterparts.

Such reasons included the frustration with costs and complexities associated with traditional on-premise offerings, while money remains a huge issue as IT departments are being forced to do more with less and struggle to afford inefficiencies associated with legacy software.
