| Summary: | Although cloud computing is one of the most
significant trends in information technology acquisition today, its
adoption amongst the SMEs is still behind the larger conterparts.
Additionally, among those that use, many face challenges to gain
benefits as what is normally claimed. More research is needed to
understand the issue. The purpose of this paper is to present the
findings of a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) conducted
related to cloud computing adoption among SMEs, particularly
focusing on the post adoption stage. SLR method was employed
as this method enable the review been done in a more
comprehensive and rigorous manner. A total of 39 relevant
articles were reviewed and the findings indicate that most past
researches on cloud computing and SMEs focused on adoption,
exploring factors that affect the adoption. Very few studies looked
at the post adoption stage or the impacts of cloud computing on
SMEs. |
