„Investment Planning Model for Cloud Computing in small-and medium sized Companies“

The use of Cloud Computing in enterprises have increased constantly during the past decade as the application of Cloud Computing solutions allows businesses for increased efficiency in their IT infrastructure usage while providing them better scalability and thus the opportunity of sinking their operational costs. These benefits are however often bounded with some drawbacks. Besides the privacy related concerns the necessity of changes in businesses operations for adaptation into Cloud Computing environment is the biggest obstacle holding enterprises back from taking advantage of Cloud Computing solutions. The objective of this thesis is to develop a decision support tool which can be deployed to evaluate different types of Cloud Computing solutions regarding enterprises specifications and to suggest the most suitable investment planning model. The capability of this decision support tool is not to be limited with the assessment of Cloud Computing solutions impact on the company's performance, but it is also able to show which type of Cloud Computing model serves best the enterprises interest and how the adaptation to Cloud Computing environment should be undertaken to minimize a performance decline during the transition phase and to prevent a prolonged implementation time of the necessary changes in enterprises operations. This thesis provides an algorithm which uses attributes of businesses designated as most significant in correspondence with Cloud Computing solutions and has the capability to allocate a given business with a Cloud Computing solution and an appropriate Investment Planning Model.
