Cloud computing adoption during SARS-COV-2 pamdemic
| Resumo: | Due to the rapid global spread of the pandemic caused by the new coronavirus, companies and institutions were forced to take precautionary measures to reduce the risk of contagion, such as asking employees to work remotely from their homes. In this scenario, cloud computing technology has proven to be a great ally of companies to overcome the crisis caused by the pandemic.The adoption of Cloud Computing technology has accelerated in recent years and, according to a forecast made by the International Data Corporation (IDC), investment in cloud services will exceed US $ 1.0 trillion in 2024, which represents a rate of annual growth of 15.7% (Villars et al., 2020).In an attempt to help organizations plan their strategies for adopting cloud computing, the present study intends to contribute to the existing literature on the subject, aiming to identify the main factors that influence the adoption of such technology during the Covid-19 pandemic crises.For this purpose, 18 factors identified during the literature review and were presented to 11 experts in the field of cloud computing technology, in order to seek a consensus regarding the order of importance of these factors.Through the Delphi method, divided into two phases and with two rounds, a list was obtained, ordered according to the degree of importance of the main factors that influence the adoption of cloud computing. After analyzing the data, the results obtained show that the six most important factors are: (1) Adoption, Migration and Acquisition Cost; (2) Availability and Accessibility; (3) Scalability; (4) Cost of Data Confidentiality and Availability Loss; (5) Security and (6) Customization. |
