This paper presents a meta-analysis of cloud computing research in information systems with the aim of taking stock of literature and their associated research frameworks, research methodology, geographical distribution, level of analysis as well as trends of these studies over the period of 7 years. A total of 285 articles from 67 peer review journals from the year 2009 to 2015 were used in the analysis. The findings indicate that extant cloud computing literature tends to skew towards the technological dimension to the detriment of other under researched dimensions such as business, conceptualization and application domain. Whilst there has been a constant increase in cloud computing studies over the last seven years, a significant number of these studies have not been underpinned by theoretical frameworks and models. Also, a majority of cloud computing studies utilized experiment and simulation as methods of enquiry as compared to the qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methodologies. This study contributes to cloud computing research by providing holistic insights into trends on themes, methodology, research framework, geographical focus and future research directions.

“…The adoption of cloud computing is arguably surrounded by different levels of environmental and inter-organizational uncertainties [57]. There is a wide emphasis on the importance of government regulations at the national and international levels [23,54,73,77]. In spite of their role in facilitating the cloud computing adoption securely, the lack of government regulations can hinder enterprises from adopting the cloud [45,54,87].…”

“…There is a wide emphasis on the importance of government regulations at the national and international levels [23,54,73,77]. In spite of their role in facilitating the cloud computing adoption securely, the lack of government regulations can hinder enterprises from adopting the cloud [45,54,87]. Some regulations, such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) for corporate accounting data, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) were enacted before cloud computing was becoming increasingly adopted, and they might not be sufficient to facilitate its adoption [69,72].…”

Creating Value for All Through IT

Part 3: Creating Value through ApplicationsInternational audienceCloud computing has received increasing interest from enterprises since its inception. With its innovative information technology (IT) services delivery model, cloud computing could add technical and strategic business value to enterprises. However, cloud computing poses highly concerning internal (e.g., Top management and experience) and external issues (e.g., regulations and standards). This paper presents a systematic literature review to explore the current key issues related to cloud computing adoption. This is achieved by reviewing 51 articles published about cloud computing adoption. Using the grounded theory approach, articles are classified into eight main categories: internal, external, evaluation, proof of concept, adoption decision, implementation and integration, IT governance, and confirmation. Then, the eight categories are divided into two abstract categories: cloud computing adoption factors and processes, where the former affects the latter. The results of this review indicate that enterprises face serious issues before they decide to adopt cloud computing. Based on the findings, the paper provides a future information systems (IS) research agenda to explore the previously under-investigated areas regarding cloud computing adoption factors and processes. This paper calls for further theoretical, methodological, and empirical contributions to the research area of cloud computing adoption by enterprises

“…Cloud technology is a paradigm that has changed the computing process 1 and has attracted both industry and academic attention due to its perceived potential. 2,3 This technology brings benefits to organizations by meeting the challenges of traditional information technology (IT) governance, 4,5 as well as providing potential benefits. 3,6 Many researchers and stakeholders investigating the adoption and diffusion of new technologies have focused on a range of key issues, such as the factors that influence the pattern, rate, and extent of diffusion among an adapting population.…”

Cloud technology has brought great benefits to the health industry, including enabling improvement in the quality of services. The objective of this review study is to investigate the reported factors affecting the adoption of cloud in the health sector by comparing studies in the health and non-health sectors. This article is a systematized review of studies conducted in 2018. From 541 articles, 47 final articles were selected and classified into two categories: health and non-health studies; conclusions were drawn from the two sectors by comparing their effective factors. Based on the results of this review, the factors were categorized as technological, organizational, environmental, and individual. The results of this review study could be a beneficial guide to the health empirical research on cloud adoption. Individual domains have not been examined in health sector studies. Since the process of adoption of new technologies in organizations is time-consuming, due to the lack of managerial knowledge about the efficient factors, recognition of these factors by decision-makers while planning for cloud adoption becomes of great importance. The findings of this review study aim to help health decision-makers by increasing their awareness of the cloud and of the factors that impact decisions at both the organizational and individual levels.
