Abstract

Cloud computing is recognized as an important area for information technology (IT) innovation and investment. Many companies are rapidly reorienting their overall IT strategies to include cloud computing. Cloud computing reduces the cost of IT since there is no installing, maintaining, or updating software as well as the elimination of IT emergencies or working after hours. Despite the potential for positive change, there are still other factors to consider before cloud computing can be accepted entirely by the individual, large business, or academic group. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to examine how individuals perceive cloud computing. The study findings reveal several factors which play an important role in their decision whether to adopt cloud computing technology. This study will contribute to the literature by proposing and empirically testing factors that impact the intention to adopt cloud computing.
