The purpose of this paper is to do a comprehensive analysis of Cloud based Big Data challenges and opportunity for SMEs in India. Big Data (BD) are big buzz words, and many large enterprises are making significant advances in their product development, customer relations, and increasing profitability by targeting specific customers. Therefore, it has generated interest for both the academic and industry world as it has the potential to enhance the decision making process by providing valuable insights. The large organisations are benefiting from using BD as a tool to gain a competitive edge over rivals by driving new revenue streams and improving internal operational efficiency. The large organisations are already investing as well leveraging BD. On the contrary, Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in India are slow adopters of new technologies due to many factors and pose to lose their competitive edge on the world stage. SMEs can also leverage BD to gain a strategic competitive advantage but are resource poor in terms of investment in manpower and financial resources. Major challenges still exist in the adoption of BD especially in information technology architecture. Cloud Computing (CC) can eliminate the need to maintain expensive computing hardware, software, and networking resources. CC can also provide a solution to scalability issues, high speed performance, and fault tolerance for using BD. With CC usage, SMEs can take advantage of BD without significant investment in information technology and manpower. This research uses secondary data as a research data collection technique, which is its limitation. However, a quantitative research methodology using statistical surveys is planned to be conducted in the near future to understand the factors impacting on the adoption of Cloud based Big Data for Indian SMEs. This paper contributes to exploring and enhancing the understanding of the challenges and opportunities for SMEs in India for adopting BD. This study will also have both industrial implications for practitioners in India, as well as those in other developing countries, and academic implications for researchers who are interested in BD adoption in developing countries. Keywords: Cloud Computing (CC), Big Data (BD), Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), Challenges, Opportunities, India.

MSMEs (Micro and Small and Medium Enterprises) have an important role now in the ASEAN economy. 96% of companies in ASEAN are MSMEs. Although MSMEs have shown their role, they still face various obstacles and constraints such as lack of information, weak branding, promotion and infrastructure. The application of information technology will certainly make it easier for MSMEs to strengthen branding, business processing and enable cooperation with other parties to provide added value to MSMEs. The application of cloud computing or cloud computing is considered suitable for MSMEs that have limited resources in the form of capital, human resources (HR) and information technology infrastructure. Responding to the importance of the application of information technology to these MSMEs, the research aims to design and build systems that can facilitate MSMEs by utilizing cloud computing technology with SAAS (software as a service). The system has been tested by testing carried out using the blackbox method which is considered to be running optimally, functionally the system built can produce the output expected by the MSMEe participants. Usability testing to measure the level of satisfaction (user satisfaction) with the usability scale (SUS) system method is also felt necessary so that the system is designed and built according to user needs and satisfaction. With the results of the calculation of SUS 72.25 which means that it belongs to class B or above the average makes SAAS cloud computing services a system that can be accepted by MSMEs participants in supporting their business.

Artificial intelligence and process automation take on redundant and repetitive tasks performed by professionals, creating space for more complex activities such as analysis and business consulting. The article considers the main modern information technologies and the possibilities of their use in accounting. With the use of information technology, more opportunities have opened up in the field of accounting. The purpose of the article is to analyze the use of modern information technology in accounting, to study the features of their implementation and related risks for the company. Technological determinants of the development of the organization of accounting are: the spread of mobile communications; improving the provision of Internet access services; software development; conversion of smartphones, tablets into integrated devices, their active use in the workplace of accounting staff.The main advantages of such technologies as cloud computing platforms, big data, data mining and mobile technologies are identified. The main threats associated with the use of these technologies have also been identified. It is determined that new technologies, as well as the need for real-time reporting make changes in the profession of accountant. Novice accountants may lack the knowledge to efficiently obtain and process large amounts of data. This is due to the fact that the existing curricula of accounting faculties in Ukraine are not sufficiently focused on new technologies, such as cloud computing, Big Data or data mining. As a result, it can be difficult for accountants to secure confidential information using the latest technology.

Eastern Indonesia is one of the areas affected by COVID-19 pandemic. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) such as; culinary businesses are the business sector most affected by this pandemic, where the implementation of social restrictions has resulted in decreased income and also changes in business patterns. This condition certainly provides new challenges and opportunities for SMEs owners. The purpose of this study is to explore the challenges and opportunities of SMEs in eastern Indonesia during the COVID-19 pandemic and the new normal era. The study uses a qualitative approach with an exploratory strategy. The results of the study found that to face the new normal era, SMEs have challenges such as the ability of human resources, understanding of information technology, and business model transformation.
