I can feel your pain. It's a very weird situation in Germany for people like us.
Legally it's not allowed, but you have to have ten lawyers backing you to make people in your company believe you that Office 365 and other SAAS Software isn't legally usable... Google Apps for Business, ZenDesk... We've just faced this situation with a customer who we've shown several lawyer inquiries we've sent about this topic and he flatout replied: "Well i guess your lawyers aren't very good then."

It can be legal – with information and consent. And it's done all the time. Of course, customers don't pay for using crappy and expensive European IT solutions. Dreaming of a European cloud is great but the leading providers are American.
