Factors Influencing an Organisation´s Intention to Adopt Cloud Computing in Saudi Arabia

Cloud computing is paradigm that has emerged to deliver IT services to consumers as a utility service over the Internet. In developing countries, particularly Saudi Arabia, cloud computing is still not widely adopted. As a result, this study seeks to investigate the most influential factors that can encourage an organisation to use the cloud or which might impede them from moving to it. This research proposes an integrated model that incorporates aspects of the Technology-Organisation-Environment (TOE) framework and integrates the critical factors from existing theories along with other factors to examine the impact of this variable on the adoption decision of enterprises. Future work will be focused on confirming the proposed model.
