Cloud computing is a general concept that incorporates software as a service(SaaS), web2.0 and other recent well-know technology trends in which the common theme is satisfying the increasing computing needs of the users while reducing costs.

Industry researcher International Data Corp. says that the worldwide sales of public IT Cloud services will reach $55.5 billion in 2014, a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 27.4%.

Risk as a Service – The Next Thing in Affordable Corporate Risk Management?CTRM Center
In the past, the use of ‘sophisticated’ risk tools and metrics was considered the bailiwick of the very largest entities that could afford to develop and run with such an approach. Often they saw advanced risk analytics as offering them a strategic and/or competitive advantage in the market. Others in the commodities space simply could not afford to perform sophisticated risk analytics and anyway, they often didn’t have the skills onboard to perform, or even understand, them appropriately.
Some firms resorted to using more simplistic reporting of positions, or other metrics, to monitor ‘risk’ and/or used somewhat simplistic limits for various forms of market and/or credit risk. Often, the calculation of exposures, or at-risk capital, value or earnings, or PFE, took a great deal of time to compute and if something went wrong, like a missing price for example, the calculation might simply crash before completion. This meant that often, risk exposures were only accurate well after the fact and were never available to inform the business when needed.
