“…Despite numerous business benefits and the topic being an object of extensive research, no universally accepted definition of cloud computing exists (Madhavaiah, Bashir, & Shafi, 2012). As a concept, cloud computing is not new but has evolved from earlier technologies such as grid computing, cluster computing, utility computing, virtualization, and application service provider hosting (Armbrust et al, 2010;Kim, 2011).…”

Cloud computing is drawing attention from both practitioners and researchers, and its adoption among organizations is on the rise. The focus has mainly been on minimizing fixed IT costs and using the IT resource flexibility offered by the cloud. However, the promise of cloud computing is much greater. As a disruptive technology, it enables innovative new services and business models that decrease time to market, create operational efficiencies and engage customers and citizens in new ways. However, we are still in the early days of cloud computing, and, for organizations to exploit the full potential, we need knowledge of the potential applications and pitfalls of cloud computing. Maturity models provide effective methods for organizations to assess, evaluate, and benchmark their capabilities as bases for developing roadmaps for improving weaknesses. Adopting the business-IT maturity model by Pearlson & Saunders (2007) as analytical framework, we synthesize the existing literature, identify levels of cloud computing benefits, and establish propositions for practice in terms of how to realize these benefits.

“…Besides that, cloud computing also has the potential to reduce the costs associated with these innovative IT services dramatically, thereby allowing organizations to be more efficient and agile. Madhavaiah et al (2012) corroborate the more business-oriented approach of Marston et al (2011) for cloud computing, stating that cloud computing is a business model based on information and communication technology, providing services by means of the Internet, delivered on demand to customers on a self-service basis, irrespective of devices and locations, with higher quality, dynamically scalable, rapidly provided and virtually shared, while demanding very little interaction with the service provider.…”

PurposeThis study aims to identify the social representation of cloud computing from the perspective of Information Technology (IT) professionals in emerging countries, comparing it with the extant literature on this subject.Design/methodology/approachData were collected from IT professionals in Brazil, which was used as a proxy for the emerging countries’ context related to cloud computing. Social Representation Theory was then applied to analyze the data.FindingsMismatches between theory and practice on cloud computing make it clear that most of the current scientific literature on cloud computing is, to a great extent, based on the context of developed countries rather than on the context of emerging ones.Research limitations/implicationsErrors of inference may have been made during the categorization of the words evoked. Furthermore, Brazil was used as a proxy for the emerging countries’ context related to cloud computing.Practical implicationsIT professionals in emerging countries have quite an operational view of cloud computing. Thus, companies in these countries have to align cloud computing better with new business models and corporate strategies in order to take advantage of the transformational impacts of cloud computing.Originality/valueIT professionals in emerging countries have failed to notice the strategic value of cloud computing, the new business models enabled by same, the privacy issues related to it and the impact cloud computing adoption can have on the IT costs of an organization. Moreover, mobility can be a paramount issue related to cloud computing in emerging countries – a fact thus far overlooked by academia.

“…On the other hand, CC is not only data storage but also data processing in large providers with high hardware capacity as described in Madhavaiah and Bashir (2012). The CC service is monopolized by the so-called "Big Techs": Microsoft (Microsoft Azure), Google (Google Cloud Platform), and Amazon (Amazon Web Services -AWS).…”
