“…This peer can expect positive employment in new innovation selection especially when the development impacts the opposition (Ramdani et al, 2009). Thus, firms that are first to adopt CC are required to infer gains in terms of survival and competitive advantage, which will influence other healthcare firms to CCA (Alharbi et al, 2017; Gangwar et al, 2015). Hence, BPP is considered as one of the indicators in the current study.…”

“…It is considered as a fundamental factor for endorsement of new IS developments where the healthcare firms will probably adopt these advanced technologies if being compatible with existing applications and the firms' esteem and convictions. It has been considered as an important element in prior studies done such as Gutierrez et al (2015), Alharbi et al (2017), Singh et al (2017) and Ayoobkhan and Asirvatham (2017). As a result, all the indicators are also identified from various prior studies under TP and hence the proposed hypothesis is given as follows.…”

Cloud computing has been adopted by many healthcare firms throughout the world especially in developed countries to enhance their service levels. The main objective of this study was to find the constructs from the prior literature review which influence the adoption of cloud computing from the prospering nation’s perspective. The main pillars of the theoretical framework are technology, organizational, environmental and ethical factors. The responses were collected from the employees or staff who were working in this sector with the help of a structured questionnaire. The analysis was performed utilizing SPSS 20.0 and AMOS 22.0. The hypothesis developed was tested utilizing a structural equation modelling approach. The findings indicated that the assumed variables each under technology, organization, environment and ethics have an impact on the dependent variable that is cloud computing adoption in the healthcare segment, thereby increasing the efficiency. The study is unique when compared to past studies as it considered ethical factors, thereby extending the cloud computing literature. It also provides a base for future studies and cloud technology development for a prospering nation perspective.

“…• Competition and peer pressure: Competitive pressure can be defined as the level of pressure felt by the organization from competitors within the industry and may influence Cloud ERP adoption (Oliveira and Martins, 2010). Intense competition could be an important determinant of IT adoption (Low et al, 2011;Alharbi et al, 2017;Alshamaila et al, 2013). • Accreditation agencies: The Joint Commission, the primary healthcare accreditation agency, may affect Cloud ERP adoption.…”

There is an accelerated migration from on-premise ERP to Cloud ERP systems in many industries, but this transition is relatively slow in the healthcare industry. To address this concern, we developed a research model based on Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) framework, and explored it in the healthcare industry through semi-structured interviews with IT managers and finance managers. We found noticeable differences between small-sized and large-sized healthcare organizations, as well as the perceptions of IT managers and finance managers in Cloud ERP adoption decisions. We discussed these findings, and proposed future research questions on Cloud ERP adoption in the healthcare industry.

Cloud Computing is arguably the most significant technological development after the Internet. It accelerated technology adoption and gave birth to new business models. More importantly, it is acting as a foundation for new technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). The Cloud Computing paradigm provides a level playing field for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) as they are able to adopt technologies that were not affordable before. Governments, vendors and business support organisations across the world have a plethora of initiatives to encourage SME adoption of Cloud Computing technologies. Despite these initiatives, many SME decision makers are still hesitant to adopt the cloud. This research reports an engagement with 16 information technology (IT) managers working for Saudi manufacturing SMEs. This paper presents their perceived barriers to migrating their applications to cloud services.
