Abstract:
Cloud computing is the fastest area of application within the information systems field. Most computer and networking companies are trying to either enter into this area or increase their existing market share. The adoption of cloud computing by businesses and academic institutions is on the rise. Cloud computing platforms could reduce cost and increase information systems responsiveness for those organizations that are adopting it properly. This paper first examines the existing opportunities and challenges in cloud computing environment, examines four current case examples, and then offers nine learning outcomes for managers to consider before adopting this technology.
