“…Alsanea [13] noted that Saudi Arabia is particularly hindered by security and privacy matters with respect to g-cloud computing. The country also suffers a lack of trust in cloud vendors [25,26] and even cloud technology [13], both of which hinder g-cloud implementation. Certain cultural traditions might also pose barriers to g-cloud implementation [27].…”

“…In the Saudi Arabian government context, the absence of legislation and standards act as a hindering factor [23]. Furthermore, in cloud technologies, data sovereignty is a key barrier to the storage of sensitive data for global governments [26]. Irion [32] argued that data sovereignty is a barrier on the cloud vendor side, since cloud vendors may take control of physical storage data centres or may hire third parties to store their data.…”

Digital technologies, such as cloud computing, have transformed business activities, particularly in the public domain. In the corporate sector, where cloud computing technology has long been implemented, some organisations have succeeded, while others have been less successful. Saudi Arabia has enthusiastically supported the move to cloud computing technology; however, from a business perspective, its implementation of government cloud technology is still relatively nascent and has faced numerous challenges. The existing literature suggests that the government cloud migration depends not only on project drivers, but also on considerable barriers, which often delay successful implementation. Furthermore, many current barriers and drivers clearly involve the roles of cloud vendors, meaning that cloud vendors must be fully engaged in order to develop comprehensive solutions. Addressing this phenomenon from the lens of enterprise architecture (EA) may support the development of appropriate deployment requirements for optimal government cloud implementation. Thus, this paper is a research in progress that analyses the major barriers and drivers affecting cloud implementation in public organisations, taking into consideration the perspectives of cloud consumers and vendors. This paper also introduces a mapping conceptual model throughout The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF) that supports a novel framework for tackling these barriers and their influences and enhancing drivers via a set of requirements.

“…Several governments have outlined such processes and there are some best practices emerging that other governments can follow. [16] One important lesson that is emerging is that the verification process should draw from the pool of existing international certifications and accreditations, as opposed to starting entirely anew. This concept of "reuse" of existing certifications enables public sector authorities to build off existing global certification assets, including detailed audit reports, and avoid creating cumbersome internal processes that will slow cloud adoption and likely add very little beyond what existing certifications and audit reports would show.…”

Governments around the world are actively seeking to leverage the many benefits of cloud computing while also ensuring that they manage risks that deployment of the new technologies can raise. While laws and regulations related to the privacy and security of government data may already exist, many were drafted in the "pre-cloud" era and could therefore benefit from an update and revision. This paper explores some of the concepts that should be incorporated into new or amended laws that seek to guide public sector entities as they move their data and workloads to the cloud.

“…Cloud computing can facilitate the share of information between public and private organizations and provide citizens access to government services. An IDC study (Tweneboah-Koduah et al, 2014) states that "the worldwide spending on public cloud services reached $47.4 billion in 2013 and is expected to be more than $107 billion in 2017".…”
