- W3125993702 abstract "ABSTRACTCloud computing adoption by organizations has been minor despite the initial optimism. The primary concerns obstructing adoption of cloud-based services are security, loss of control, and inadequate legislative. In a cloud-based model, information technology services are distributed and accessed over networks such as intranet or internet. Intranets are inside organizations and internet outside. The main concerns are inherently linked to employing services provided by other organizations and accessing them over internet. In such case, valuable organizational data and services are transferred to providers. The provider or other entities may compromise organizational data and services, thus posing significant security risks. By moving data and services to outside providers, organizations also loose substantial control over timely management and retention. Organizations must follow the rules set by the providers-which may not be well suited for them. The providers legally distance themselves from liabilities on important issues such as security, data loss and damage. There are also several other pertinent factors. Proper cloud computing adoption and utilization by organizations requires balanced approach. We elucidate various factors and highlight proper strategic concepts for effective cloud adoption management-benefiting both organizations and providers.JEL: M15; 014; 032; 033; L86; K12; K23; K42KEYWORDS: cloud computing, cloud providers, cloud-based systems, cloud services, web services, information technology management, knowledge management, risk management, actionable knowledge, knowledge-intensive organizations, knowledge workers.INTRODUCTIONCloud-based systems and services have been regarded as 'the next big thing' by business communities, as well as technology and service providers - until WikiLeaks happened. The case of WikiLeaks plainly exposed intrinsic risks (Sternstein, 2011). What happened? WikiLeaks employed Amazon's cloud services for content and data hosting. Amazon, on a short notice, terminated its services to WikiLeaks and removed the content and data simply upon inquiry by US federal lawmakers (MacAskill, 2010; O'Connor, 2010). The Shockwave strongly resonated with businesses. The lesson learned was clear: organizations cannot entrust their mission critical services and data to cloud providers.Data and related information technologies are at the functional core of knowledge-intensive organizations. Organizations rely on a spectrum of information technologies supporting their operations (Alvesson, 2004). Information technology tools and services are indispensable for their efficient functioning (Ringel-Bickelmaier and Ringel, 2010). Knowledge workers depend on information technologies and data for completing their tasks. Information technology services are also enablers for achieving higher working and operating efficiencies (Davenport, 2005). Any impairment of organizational data or information technology tools and services translates to considerable losses for knowledge-intensive organizations. Hence, significant financial, physical and human resources are dedicated to management and innovation of organizational information systems and infrastructures.Significant investments of organizations into information technologies attract cloud-based providers. They aim at providing information technology services to organizations for remuneration (Marston et al., 2011). The essential idea behind the cloud-based business model is relatively simple. Organizations could outsource their information technology needs to cloud-based providers. Overall outsourcing costs should be lower than their information technology investments; hence, there are savings for organizations. Cloud-based providers supply services to multiple organizations, and employ the economy of scale. Thus, they can offer attractive pricing to customers and yet maintain reasonable margins (Kambil, 2009). …" @default.
