Enterprise Cloud Computing (ECC)Benefits from ECC for SMEs:

� Lower IT-related cost: eliminating costs of establishing and maintenance of IT infrastructure

� Speed: self-service access to an available pool of shared and scalable computing resources

� Better IT support: new applications can be approved and deployed quickly

� Agility� Competitive advantage

Enterprise Cloud Computing (ECC)Challenges to ECC for SMEs� Trust/Security: data privacy and

trust issues� Vendor lock-in� Lack of standards: related to

data privacy and SLA as any new computing technology

� Lack of control: in terms of SMEs don’t have skills to control their data in the cloud

� Integration: with in-house systems

� Scepticism: SMEs might be reluctant to adopt cloud services because they don’t have the financial resources and skills needed for secure cloud

Information Required� Perform a literature review of cloud

computing and cloud application interoperability to assess the current status of interoperability research and inform the choice of frameworks for the experimentation part of this research

� Design and develop a reference application software

� Adapt the reference application to use the chosen frameworks

� Assess the maturity of the frameworks by reviewing the success of the experimentation and the effort involved

� Summarise the research, draw conclusions and recommend areas of future research

Research Objective/QuestionObjection:� To identify the trust issues that affect SMEs’

choice to adopt cloud services as well as the major concerns of data security risks.

Question:� What are the cloud-specific security risks and

priority associated with cloud computing?

� What are the data protections and privacy concerns for the SMEs data in the cloud?

� How data security affects SMEs choice to adopt cloud services?

� What are the data security policies offered in the cloud? How effective they are? And are they enough to persuade SMEs to move to the cloud?

Conclusion and Recommendation� ECC is having a transformative

impact and changing the way SMEs operate, internally and with partners and customers

� ECC is helping SMEs reach strategic goals for growth and innovation

� Substantial investment over the next few years will further solidify cloud’s central role

� success involves much more than smart IT planning, there also must be some serious thinking about the rest of the business

� ECC have to develop cloud strategic for SMEs
