“…SMEs have a less complex structure and remain unimpacted by this challenge [72]. Large companies use their ERP, from the standpoint of complexity, to support industry-specific functionality and achieve real-time integration with machinery and other complex legacy systems [38]. The characteristics of SMEs (e.g., smaller size, less complexity) could make the implementation of a cloud-based ERP less complex, thereby encouraging the company to continue with their intention to adopt such a system [73].…”

“…Johansson et al [38] was able to develop a framework that shows how SMEs and large enterprises are associated with opportunities and concerns regarding cloud-based ERP adoption. The framework identified the limited customization capabilities of cloud-based ERP and limited integration capabilities, with complex legacy systems as a major concern, especially for large organizations.…”

To enhance the sustainability of business operations, enterprises have interests in enterprise resource planning (ERP) transitions from an existing on-premise method to a cloud-based system. This study conducts a comprehensive analysis using the technology-organization-environment, diffusion of innovation, and the model of innovation resistance frameworks. The empirical analysis shows that the factors of organizational culture, regulatory environment, relative advantage, trialability, and vendor lock-in all had a significant influence on the intention to adopt cloud-based ERP, while information and communications technology skill, complexity, observability, data security, and customization had no significant influence on the intention to adopt cloud-based ERP. This study’s findings provide meaningful guidance for companies that want to adopt cloud-based ERP, governments that support enterprise digitalization, and vendors who sell cloud-based ERP systems.

“…In addition, Johansson (2015) discover that organizations might feel insecure storing their data at external providers without having a direct control over the data. Another problem that might affect the confidentially of data is the lack of control over the staff from the cloud provider, who could access and retrieve data for dishonest or even criminal activities.…”

This paper brings to light data security issues and concerns for organizations by moving their Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems to the cloud. Cloud computing has become the new trend of how organizations conduct business and has enabled them to innovate and compete in a dynamic environment through new and innovative business models. The growing popularity and success of the cloud has led to the emergence of cloud-based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) ERP systems, a new alternative approach to traditional on-premise ERP systems. Cloud-based ERP has a myriad of benefits for organizations. However, infrastructure engineers need to address data security issues before moving their enterprise applications to the cloud. Cloud-based ERP raises specific concerns about the confidentiality and integrity of the data stored in the cloud. Such concerns that affect the adoption of cloud-based ERP are based on the size of the organization. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) gain the maximum benefits from cloud-based ERP as many of the concerns around data security are not relevant to them. On the contrary, larger organizations are more cautious in moving their mission critical enterprise applications to the cloud. A hybrid solution where organizations can choose to keep their sensitive applications on-premise while leveraging the benefits of the cloud is proposed in this paper as an effective solution that is gaining momentum and popularity for large organizations.

“…Les trois dernières relations montrent le rôle central joué par l'influence sociale dans l'élaboration de l'idée que l'on peut se faire de la facilité Une enquête annuelle sur les TIC (menée auprès d'entreprises implantées en France), va dans le même sens, montrant que 30 % d'entre elles auraient tendance à réduire leur utilisation du « cloud » pour des raisons de sécurité, sur les plans technique et juridique (Vacher et Demoly, 2015). Pourtant, les hébergeurs de ces produits ont fait de réels progrès en matière de sécurité et de maintien de l'intégrité des données (Johansson et al, 2015 (Gupta, Seetharaman et Raj, 2013 ;Hernandez, Jimenez et Martin, 2008 ;Wu, 2011b ;Lopez-Nicolas, Molina-Castillo et Bouwman, 2008 ;Lévy Mangin et al, 2012).…”

Dans un monde de plus en plus concurrentiel, l’entreprise se doit d’avoir un système d’information performant. L’ERP est devenu la solution pour de nombreuses entreprises et un élément clé de la stratégie. Mais l’implantation d’un tel produit en interne est une opération lourde du point de vue financier, organisationnel et de délai de mise en oeuvre. L’ERP en ligne (cloud) peut alors se révéler être une solution intéressante face à ces contraintes. Les avantages qu’il présente faciliteraient son adoption au sein des PME. Aussi, cette recherche s’attache-t-elle à déterminer les facteurs qui peuvent inciter ou freiner les PME dans l’adoption d’une telle solution. Elle s’appuie sur le modèle TAM, enrichi de propositions issues de la théorie de la diffusion de l’innovation. Notre modèle a été testé auprès d’entreprises de la région Centre, sur la base d’un questionnaire en ligne et de 64 réponses exploitables.Il ressort que les décideurs sont sensibles à deux variables qui influent directement sur l’intention d’adopter ou de continuer à utiliser un ERP en ligne pour les entreprises qui en seraient déjà équipées, l’utilité perçue ainsi que la sécurité et la confiance qu’ils mettent dans une telle solution. Mais il apparaît aussi que d’autres variables agissent indirectement, comme l’influence sociale, qui joue un rôle central dans le modèle, mais aussi la taille de l’entreprise, les bénéfices perçus en termes de statut et l’attitude envers les innovations technologiques.
