2.2. Human Factors
Human factors involve employees of e-banking information systems when adopting a new technology (Shah & Siddiqui, 2006). For electronic banking, cloud computing is an innovation in information technology; therefore, CIO plays a critical role in adopting this innovation. CIO approval for adoption of new technology provides a new attitude and positive approach in the organization (Thong, 1999). Technological capability as well as competence of employees is effective on adoption of a new information technology (Wamba & Carter, 2016). In other words, employees require the knowledge and skills needed for a new technology. Another discussion related to adoption of a new technology is the acceptance of new technology by employees.

Relative advantages are one of the organizational factors which refer to the effect of operating costs and increased operating profits for banks. The relative advantage of cloud computing includes capital costs, capacity, agility, implementation, reliability, compatibility, ease of use and flexibility (Lin & Chen, 2012). Premkumar and Roberts (1999) show that relative advantages are effective on business, leading to adoption of new information technology. One of the organizational factors is sufficient resources, which plays an important role in adoption of new technologies (Chang et al., 2007). Sufficient funds, human resources and enough time are the organizational resources needed. One of the most important topics in adoption and implementation of new technology is senior management support; despite favorable conditions, lack of senior management support fails the adoption of new technology (Lian et al. 2014). Cloud computing requires to a wide variety of investments in areas such as hardware, software and system integration which are considerably costly. Given the broad nature of these costs, this factor can be critical in adoption of cloud computing in e-banking (Alkhalil et al., 2017; Lian et al.,
How likely is there more confidence in healthcare workers to execute the behavior required for implementing the innovation? 24. How likely is the innovation more compatible with the way work is perceived by the healthcare workers (or job perception of healthcare workers)? 25. How likely will more healthcare workers expect the patients to be satisfied with the innovation?
As the technology marches forward introducing every time we turn around a new, improved device or computer program this constant adaptation undoubtedly affects every part of our financial life. One must agree that iPhones, for example, which become almost absolute after two or three years of use due to evolving computer science must create an economic burden for some American families. The same way, all hospitals must struggle with maintaining technological sharpness while assuring the presence of digital innovation despite the existing financial limitations. To illustrate the monetary hindrance in the VA Hospital, I would like to bring to the attention a problem related to cloud-based application necessary for managing and storing information.
Len Musgrove first began his law practice with a traditional IT setup. He thought this was his only option. However, the hassle of buying hardware with maintenance and continual upgrades left him feeling perplexed. He became all-ear when an IT company suggested the Cloud to him.
The information revolution is sweeping through our economy. No company can escape its effects. Dramatic reductions in the cost of obtaining, processing, and transmitting information are changing the way we do business. “To get ahead in today’s business world, a company must utilize the right resources. One of the most effective, of course, is information technology (IT), which has become an essential tool for businesses across many industries” (2013).
Resources are consumed less through the use of intelligent solutions, one of them being cloud storage (Tziritas et al., 2013; Goulart, 2012). 2. The C_Software program which improves live migration in IT is a proof that the roles of IT specialists are bound to change with the adoption of cloud computing (Fejzaj, Tafa & Kajo, 2012; Wenzel, 2011). 3. All companies should follow in the steps of iPayroll Ltd and adapt the models of cloud computing that most SMEs are running for in order to realize the true value of cloud computing programs (Kevany, 2012; Misra & Mondal, 2012).
David Ward Dr. Powell Principles of Info Systems November 12, 2015 Cloud Project The purpose of this project is to investigate different cloud services that are being offered in today’s marketplace, analyze their different benefits as well as negatives, and pick a company who offers services that suits my business best. Regardless of what website we are looking at, all of the websites are offering the same thing, which is a cloud service. Cloud computing service providers can provide IT services, ranging from storage space all the way to complete applications. This has become a viable service, as these companies have the ability to provide IT services with higher quality and more efficiently than their customers can.
The growth of cloud technology has created a plethora of options for organizations, so in order to maximize the investment and achieve the greatest value, organizations will use business analysis to evaluate prospective cloud solutions. 5. FUTURE OF CLOUD COMPUTING Sky is the limit for cloud computing, but is still far from maturity. But, with the relentless supervising of tendencies and revisions for cloud computing, service providers will be adept to bypass costly mistakes.
There are many hosting companies available, these services range from maintaining “websites and e-mail servers, service providers for various telecommunication connections, disaster recovery companies for co-location capabilities” (Harris, 2013) Cloud computing is the next big thing, its various management services while cutting done on operational cost for IT, but it comes at a price. What an organization saves in cost in the short term can end up blowing a hole in the operational budget in the long term. All organization who use cloud computing services need to take into account risk, because the responsibility for management the resources can be outsource but the risk still remind. The better approach might be to invest more into the present IT infrastructure and remains in control of with the in house IT
Many businesses are now requiring a higher knowledge in technology as to keep up with such a fast paced world. If we refuse to accept that technology has now become part of our life we fail to keep up with the world and are soon left behind in the dust of old books and countless hours of troublesome research. It is now more common to see a teenager helping an older person with their phone/Ipod/computer. Our generation is rising as one of the first to be neck deep in technology. We are able to share information faster, provide higher knowledge to those behind us, and firmly hold the endless possibilities of our bright
A noteworthy issue to those who elect to use cloud-based applications is the need to have reliable Internet access. All members of the team will need this to maintain productivity (Winterberg, 2013). Finally, Google Docs or Office 365 does not require software to be downloaded, which can be a positive feature. However, it can also be a negative in that the features offered are limited compared to the competition and those who are considered advanced users (Winterberg,
Another example in the article accepting or rejecting innovations would be the Japanese language system. Japanese would be more prefer to the “Kanji” system but it is more difficult than to use other method. The reason that Japanese like “kanji” better just because the “Kanji” language system has more has more social value and longer history. These examples show that people might not choose the one which provides more convenience for them. People would rather to choose the one could keep their social values and prestige and they will feel more confident in front of other
New hires are critical to the organization because of their knowledge on new technologies, attitudes about the work, and career aspirations. These are the initiatives we have taken to retain new hires. 1. Adopting management style of culture in the organization 2.
Employees will seek out answers about their current skills, skills required for the job, and the gap between employee’s current skills and job required
The Roman poet, Horace, said: “Adversity has the effect of eliciting talents which in prosperous circumstances would have lain dormant.” The current cloud environment exemplifies precisely what Horace would see as an adversarial landscape that is creating opportunities for innovation and talent exploitation. However, these are indeed prosperous times for organizations in the virtual server realm. Cloud wars among top Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) providers are reaching full combat status. Two of the top contenders, Google and AWS, are battling it out for territory and market share.
Mobile cloud computing is a recent emerging technology in computer field. It is the integration of two major fields namely the mobile computing and cloud computing. Mobile computing is the process of operating many applications via mobile devices whereas cloud computing is the computational process via cloud or internet by provisioning the resources on demand and pay per use. The emergence of MCC has been proposed in order to overcome the major drawbacks in using mobile devices such as capacity, storage, computational speed, limited bandwidth, lifetime, and latency. MCC provides the solutions for these novel cons of the mobile computation.
