Abstract
Cloud computing environment provides a great flexibility and availability of computing resources at a lower cost. This
emerging technology opens a new era of e-services in different disciplines. In this paper, we explore cloud computing services
and applications, we give examples for cloud services provided by the most common Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) such as
Google, Microsoft, Amazon, HP, and Sales force and we present innovative applications for cloud computing in e-learning,
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and e-governance. Our study helps individuals and organizations understand how cloud
computing can provide them with customized, reliable and cost-effective services in a wide variety of applications.
