The long way it comes, the dynamic change it has, the specialization and transparent nature of its services and the relative advantage it has over the previous computing technologies has provided, cloud computing has attained the maturity level and position where it is now. Security, privacy, trust and location risks are some of the factors that hinder the adoption of cloud computing and it is not well implemented in organizations of developing countries. But the adoption of cloud computing could transform the workflow of organizations to efficient, cost effective and manageable environment. To transform the current working environment to cloud computing environment, it needs to have a sound, comprehensive and agile adoption framework. Its room for keeping the computing and management of sensitive data and applications in house and going public for additional computing requirements, makes the hybrid cloud computing the best fit for construction companies. The proposed hybrid Cloud Computing Adoption framework can support construction companies to determine and understand the contexts they need to consider when adopting cloud computing.
Primary and secondary data are used to develop the proposed adoption framework. On top of that, the National Cloud Computing Policy, Strategy and Roadmap of Ethiopia, Technological, Organizational and Environmental cloud adoption framework was used as a theoretical lens in the study. This paper is proposed to support informed judgment rather than strict robotic rule based implementation. The study findings are believed to help organizations and researchers to understand cloud computing adoption contexts, requirements, to measure their risk, to migrate their services to cloud from all types and to connect and integrate different services as a single system. Future direction and security concerns have been addressed in our framework.
