Challenges of Cloud Solutions Adoption in Large Corporations

Abstract

The concept of cloud-provided IT solutions has changed from being an emerging technology to a reality that most large corporations have adopted or are planing to adopt. Accordingly, many companies have already moved some of their applications or a portion of their infrastructure to the cloud. This adoption varies between the different categories of cloud offerings: Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). This paper will discuss the challenges of cloud adoption from the three perspectives of successful organizations: people, process, and technology.
