Identifying the moderating effect of trust on the adoption of cloud‐based services

Abstract

Cloud computing provides a way to coordinate and share relevant information and data on real-time basis over an organization. The adoption of cloud services is one of the most emerging technological advances in the practice of current competitive business environment. The research done in this article is based on the analysis of the data obtained from the semiconductor sector. Cloud adoption would most likely be the best answer for them. However, because of various types of complexities, semiconductor industries may have to confront with a few trust issues while receiving cloud services. This article aims to identify the trust factors in the adoption of cloud services in semiconductor industries. Further, the moderating effect of these trust elements related to the technological, organizational, and environmental success factors has been discussed here. On the basis of literature survey, a hypothetical model has been developed, and the relationships among the latent variables have been studied by using structural equations. The study reveals that while trust factors moderate the technology and environment-related success factors, there is not much moderating effect of the trust issues on the organization-related success factors in the adoption of cloud services in semiconductor industries.

Migration of PLM systems to cloud

“…Rahi et al 34 have also confirmed the impact of trust issues on the technological success factors of cloud services adoption in semiconductor firms. Elmonem et al 33 studied cloud computing applications for ERP systems and found out the performance risks along with security risks, customization, and integration as those challenges which topped the list of cloud ERP adoption challenges continuously every year during 2011 to 2016.…”

Trust Issues in Cloud Computing

“…Perhaps the greatest worry with cloud data storage is the verification of data integrity at untrusted servers, and how to manage sensitive information. It's not that easy task to keep up client's most sensitive data in cloud environment safely, which is required in numerous applications for clients [18].…”

“…Integrity ought to be checked at the data and computation level. Data Integrity could help in getting lost data or telling if there is any unauthorized data manipulations [18,19].…”
