Adoption Strategy for Cloud Computing in Kenyan Research Institutions

Cloud computing has transformed the aspect of distributed from many other prevailing methods by offering more unlimited benefits, like cutting down costs and allowing capacity agility. It is viewed as a game-changer in how information technology provided since it allows computer resources storage, processing capacity, network infrastructure, applications to be offered service via Internet. In business, seems have become strategic, with potential for use crucial parts an organization's IT offers alternative traditional Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems. Most Kenyan research institutes' systems experienced certain flaws recognized incidents system rigidity, which prevented these institutions efficiently meeting their mandate, especially when they desired access services home The Research design that was utilized study survey design. employed systematic review approach examined current literature on cloud adoption strategy. revealed existing dominated issues characteristics/peculiarities environments Kenya if were amenable solutions, technologies, approaches drivers fostering strategy met requirements institutions. present reviewed knowledge gap identification purposes future opportunities. researcher developed favorable Institutions flexible provision resources, enhanced greater efficiency, reduced capital expenditure hardware software increased performance Institution's operations, efficiency data supported effectiveness management activities strategies discussed did not promote cooperation, agility, scalability flexibility saving using calculating optimally. This purposive sampling picked sample size twenty respondents KMFRI related organizations. analytical specifically identified studies exposed kind challenges existed gave indication applicable because organization size, possession required skills make cloud-based services, Government regulations, industry regulations internal policies necessitated move providers adequate run are ready provide. Researchers noted all dedicated ICT personnel Policies. Efficient delivery means there easy any at time anywhere. Using Factor Analysis, variable weights various constructs (Technological, Internal External Contexts) used develop (ASCC). recommendations showed infrastructure should so can connected high-speed Internet allow sharing information, will ensure efficient services. also recommended Institutes train customers suppliers (ASCC) achieve delivery. Areas further conducted determine long-term impact adopting Institutions. Also, could carry out ways improving Research.
