Factors affecting the adoption of cloud computing: an exploratory study.
In: 21st European Conference on Information Systems 2013 (ECIS), 5 - 8 June 2010, Utrecht University.
Abstract
While it is widely acknowledged that cloud computing has the potential to transform a large part of
the IT industry, issues surrounding the adoption of cloud computing have received relatively little
attention. Drawing on three case studies of service providers and their customers, this study will
contribute to the existing cloud technologies literature that does not address the complex and multifaceted
nature of adoption. The findings are analyzed using the adoption of innovation literature as a
lens to reveal how technological, organizational and environmental factors impact cloud adoption.
Our conclusions reveal that factors impacting cloud adoption tend to be psychological as well as
technical, and some recommendations are put forward for future research.
