Abstract
Cloud computing is the current technological silver bullet that has been proposed for solving a variety of Information Systems (IS) problems facing organizations in developing countries including bridging the digital divide. However, the large number of cloud options available can make determining the most applicable solution to an organization non-trivial. This paper looks at these options and the barriers to adoption facing Small/Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Jamaica. A Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) model which can be used in the cloud adoption decision process is then developed and tested using an example.
