Cloud Computing Adoption

PurposeCloud computing (CC) services have given a tremendous boost to the creation of efficient and effective solutions. With developing countries at a slow pace of adoption, this research aims to identify factors and their interrelationships influencing the adoption of CC in a developing country context. The developing countries are enjoying numerous benefits from CC services; however, its low adoption is still a question in developing economies; hence, the authors have selected the context of information and communication technology (ICT) firms in India.Design/methodology/approachThe qualitative research method is used where experts from thirteen ICT firms in India are interviewed.FindingsSixteen factors, twenty-eight subfactors, and 25 interrelationships are revealed through content analysis. Further, causal loop diagrams are proposed to display the behavior of cause and effect of these factors from a system's perspective. This will help to understand the relationships among the factors in order to enhance the speed of CC adoption. Possible financial loss and resistance to change are found as the key barriers to adoption. The proposed interrelationships can guide both policymakers and service providers for designing effective CC policies.Originality/valueThis is the first scholarly work that identifies interrelationships among factors and subfactors, thereby providing a holistic picture to decision-makers while making a choice on whether to adopt cloud services or continue with on premise data centers and servers.

Internet usage has increased significantly across developing economies in last decade and most of the enterprises are extensively reliable on computer networks for electronic mails to payment gateways. But, the scenario we live in today has become more and more connected, sophisticated and risk-prone to our network-delivered society. Nevertheless, it remains critical for enterprises to exploit the full potential of available technologies such as mobile computing, smart computing and cloud computing. A cyber security related gaffe in any of these rapidly emerging domains may lead to lost productivity and grave concerns to the enterprise. The chapter highlights the various concerns associated to cyber security, viz., how an attack may be operated and offered measures to secure the network and information technology resources within and outside the enterprise. In most of the developing economies no synchronized activities in this regard are taking place which opens the opportunity to cyber criminals intrude into the system and compromise the resources.

New Technology Adoption

Small and mid-size enterprises (SME) are considered the backbone of developing economies in terms of reducing poverty and unemployment. Although most SMEs are still reluctant in new technology adoption, such as cloud computing, some benefited from the services provided by cloud technology. This study aims to assess the performance evaluation of small and mid-sized enterprises (SMEs) regarding the usage of cloud computing in their activities. The quantitative study was conducted on a sample of 112 respondents employed in Turkish SMEs. A research model is utilized based on performance specific scales. Results signified cloud technology’s positive impact on business performance.

Scarcity Of Resources

Abstract In the techno world of today, with the rapid advancement of new economic construction, a diversity of information expertise is emerging. Through implementing the advanced cloud computing business model, enterprises have resolved the problems with the shortage of capital, workforce, and technology, which are vital in e-commerce operations to handle the conflict with the e-commerce undertakings of enterprises and the scarcity of resources. Cloud computing can play a critical role in increasing business processes through e-commerce applications, leading to higher financial value for enterprises. Hence, in this paper, Cloud Computing assisted Enterprise Resource Planning (CCAERP) has been proposed to base on an e-commerce application for enterprise management. Currently, most internal e-commerce systems and ERP systems are relatively autonomous. Nevertheless, a single method of operating proved capable of satisfying the requirements of business growth with growing fierce market competition. Effective enterprise resource planning and e-commerce convergence have been one of the subjects of business growth in the new era. This paper first analyzes the relationship between Enterprise Resource Planning and e-commerce and then examines and explores the incorporation requirements and feasibility of the enterprise.
