"During the rise of the cloud in the late 90s and early 2000s, traditional vendors ignored the warning signs surrounding the disruptive nature of cloud-based software-as-a-service platforms," said Derek Nachimow, Practice Manager at MIBAR.

We wrote this guide to help businesses understand the difference."
