Abstract

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.
