“…Disaster recuperations schemes in cloud systems is a better choice compared to traditional disaster recuperation programmes because it can restore data in a more prompt and swift manner (Ali et al 2015;Rajkumar et al 2011;Singh 2010); and because this swift recovery reduces the cost of the operation (Staten 2011).…”

It is expected that computing services will increasingly be accessed as another utility a similar way to other services such as water, electricity, telephone or gas. Many organizations including government deliver their services through information and communication technology (ICT) tools including e-government. Cloud computing is a relatively new way of providing services over the internet. In this research in-depth interviews of Australian councils' IT managers were conducted with the aim of providing insights into the perceived benefits of cloud computing adoption. Also, survey data from 480 IT staff across 47 local councils were collected to confirm the findings of the exploratory stage. The research indicated that cloud computing is seen to offer many benefits that are identified in the research literature; additional anticipated benefits emerged which related to reduced level of risk, remote access, reduce staff, and time efficiencies. The findings of this research may help IT managers and top management evaluate possible adoption by increasing their understanding about anticipated benefit which will encourage them when planning or decided to adopt cloud computing.

“…Reduced IT infrastructure cost: One of the major benefits that businesses are expecting from using cloud services is cost saving (Ali et al , 2015Lenart 2011;Miller 2008;Salleh et al 2012). This financial benefit is expected mainly because of the usage-based pricing model.…”

“…This was could assist with the shortage of technical skills and institutional capacity in regional and rural areas (Ali et al 2015a). Services provided by regional municipal governments could be better managed through cloud computing (Ali et al 2015a) with minimal local IT infrastructure (Das et al 2011;Beaubouef 2011;Sperling 2010). Despite its potential benefit the adoption rate of cloud computing in regional municipal governments in Australia was lower than in urban areas (Department on Innovation Industry Science and Research 2011).…”

“…By using cloud computing, regional municipal governments will have greater capacity to move the necessity to bolster the backend foundation to data centres in real urban communities or different data centre points (Ali et al 2015a).

Abstract.Technology plays an important role in helping organizations control quality and costs, and take advantage of opportunities in a highly competitive and increasingly complex business environment. Cloud computing offers greater access to computing power, storage, software, and remote data centres through the web. This research aims to confirm the factors to be considered for cloud computing adoption in Australian regional municipal governments. The research involved data from interviews with IT managers from selected regional municipal governments, and survey data from 480 IT staff across 47 regional municipal governments. The major factors to be considered for the adoption of cloud computing in regional municipal governments were identified as Internet connectivity, Internet speed, availability, reliability, data storage location, security, data sovereignty, cost, integration, data backup, provider dependability, employees' knowledge, and transportability. The findings of this research may help managers increase their awareness about factors to be considered when regional municipal governments planning to adopt cloud computing.
