A Strategic Framework for Successful Adoption of Cloud-Based Services in Indian SMEs

Nitirajsingh Sandu and Ergun Gide

Abstract— The aim of this research paper is to suggest key strategies for the successful adoption of Cloud based services in Indian SMEs. In India, SMEs confront issues because of lack of information on Cloud services. So far, when compared with large firms, SMEs possess less capital, and employees are hired with lower pay packages. Hence, with this drawback, SMEs will not have enough human resources to support basic requirements. SMEs, when compared to large organisations, have infrequent full-time IT staff or are unable to afford formal IT departments. Equally, as SMEs are the backbone of the Indian economy, they generate considerable employment opportunities and utilize technology to improve competitiveness by reducing cost and improving productivity using innovative technology, which includes Cloud Computing. This paper has listed the key recommendation that will help Indian SMEs understand the importance of organisational and technological factors for Cloud-centric service adoption. By discerning the importance of Cloud-based services among business organisations, this study will then be contributing to society. It could also act as a basis for future researchers, decision-makers and others to improve competitive advantage in developing countries using Cloud-based services.

Index Terms— Cloud Computing (CC), framework, Indian SMEs, technology adoption.
