We examine the economic impact of one of the most up-to-date innovative approaches – Cloud computing. Cloud computing is not only a technology innovation, Cloud computing is economic and ideology innovation that change the way users get informational resources. That changes have a lot of economic advantages for the end user. We have analyzed the total economic impact of the Microsoft office 365 implementation. We have shown the correlation between costs and profit after the chosen technology was implemented in the organization. The analysis was based on the results of the implementation of Cloud technologies in small and medium sized businesses with the amount of employees 150. The analysis has shown that the technology is very effective for such businesses. It is important to mention that the analysis was based on the special report of the implementation. That report from our point of view has several drawbacks but frankly speaking do not change the results. More over if we would have taken into account all drawbacks like flexibility or the need for new software or the changes in the amount of employees etc we difference between costs and profit would be much more bigger.
