Abstract (Swedish)
This study investigates the factors influencing the adoption and acceptance of cloud-based solutions within organizational contexts, emphasizing the strategic insights necessary for effective cloud migration. Cloud computing, marked by its scalability, has significantly transformed information technology landscapes. However, the adoption rates vary widely across industries, driven by diverse organizational, individual, and technological factors. This research adopts a qualitative methodology, employing interviews with stakeholders in various organizations to explore the complexities of cloud adoption. It explores how strategic, organizational, and individual factors influence the decision-making processes related to cloud services... (More)
This study investigates the factors influencing the adoption and acceptance of cloud-based solutions within organizational contexts, emphasizing the strategic insights necessary for effective cloud migration. Cloud computing, marked by its scalability, has significantly transformed information technology landscapes. However, the adoption rates vary widely across industries, driven by diverse organizational, individual, and technological factors. This research adopts a qualitative methodology, employing interviews with stakeholders in various organizations to explore the complexities of cloud adoption. It explores how strategic, organizational, and individual factors influence the decision-making processes related to cloud services adoption. The findings highlight the role of perceived ease of use and organizational readiness in facilitating cloud adoption, challenging the emphasis on perceived usefulness. Strategic frameworks like the ARTIST methodology and AWS’s phase-driven approach are analyzed to reveal their strengths and shortcomings in actual business contexts. The study concludes that successful cloud migration requires a balanced approach that considers both technical and human factors, recommending future research to focus on these dimensions to enhance the efficacy of cloud migration strategies.
