Success factors for deploying cloud computing

Abstract

Trust between client organization and cloud provider is a strong predictor of successful cloud deployment.

Longitudinal Study on the Expectations of Cloud Computing Benefits and an Integrative Multilevel Model for Understanding Cloud Computing Performance

“…Garrison et al [13] applied the resource based view (RBV) [4] and examined the success of cloud computing deployment. Oliveira et al [31] compared the diffusion of innovations (DOI) [35] and the technology-organization-environment (TOE) (44] models in their study on the adoption of cloud computing.…”

“…We reason that successful deployment and performance means that an organization has a clear strategy for the deployment of cloud computing in business [13,52,11,37] and that an organization will aim to increase the exploitation of this technology in business [31,28,32]. We also expect that business deployment of cloud computing is understood to mean more than only the transfer of email service to cloud.…”

IT controls in the public cloud: Success factors for allocation of roles and responsibilities

“…implementation activities with the cloud vendor (or supplier) are important to maximise the likelihood of successful cloud deployment (Garrison, Kim, & Wakefield, 2012). Other researchers have also emphasised the necessity of people's capability of managing their vendor relationships as essential for generating value from cloud or IT outsourcing (Ross & Westerman, 2004).…”

A Comparative Analysis on the Effect of the Chosen ILSes on Systems and Technical Services Staffing Models

“…Thus participating member institutions are relieved from this burdensome responsibility that has traditionally been undertaken by their IT staff. 14 From this perspective, the next-generation ILS will have a huge impact on library organizational structure, staffing, and librarianship. Since the next-generation ILS is implemented through the cloud-computing model, there is no requirement for local staff to perform the functions traditionally defined as "systems" staff activities, such as server and storage administration, backup and recovery administration, and server-side network administration.…”
