ON THE WAY OR IN THE WAY OF DEVELOPMENT

Nowadays we are witnessing a rapid development that is also characteristic for corporate management and corporate information systems. However, as in many other areas, development does not always go smoothly. Not even in the case of such innovations as cloud computing. Even for smaller enterprises, cloud computing significantly expands the scope of available information technology services without requiring large-scale IT investments or significant spending to operate, maintain and update hardware and software tools. The study focuses on the cloud computing technology as a development opportunity. The study examines the obstacles to development, the potential barriers of the fast-pace spreading of the new technology. It also provides an assessment of the problems generated by the companies and organizations as well as those factors that stand in the way of necessary technological development. The aim is to explore the real problems and to present the causal relations that result in these problems. Moreover, the study evaluates the development opportunities of cloud computing. The research is based on in-depth interviews conducted with the corporate leaders. The results of the interviews are structured and presented according to the authors’ professional experience.
