It's New Year's resolution time! Entrepreneurs have grand plans in 2014: They want to get rid of old equipment cluttering up the office and hit the gym more.

Business owners want to save money by ditching outdated, inefficient technology and move evermore services to the cloud, according to an infographic generated by Los Angeles-based Internet service company j2 Global.
