Cloud and E-commerce adoption

Cloud computing springs from prior researches on distributed computing, virtualization mechanisms, internetworking, and software services. Cloud, as service oriented architecture, offers flexibility in the procurement of hardware and software services to cloud customers. It also substantially minimizes the capital and operation cost of maintaining huge data centers and server farms at user end. In our researches we at length debated on the trends, opportunities, and challenges of cloud computing in Pakistan. The usage of cloud computing is still at embryonic stage in Pakistan. Computerized information processing facilities at public and private organizations consume days for the provision of services which would be idyllically provided within a single day. Most services related to basic civic amenities have still to find their way on cloud. For this reason vital public information cannot be shared amongst stakeholders.
