  • Abstract

    Although Cloud Computing Technologies “CCT†and their benefits have been recognized for decades, there are still fears at Egyptian Governmental Organizations “EGO†to migrate to them. The paper addresses developing & enhancing IT capabilities & business model at EGOs by adopting CCT from a national planning viewpoint. It starts by explaining Cloud Computing “CC†definition, concept, characteristics, types, models, benefits and challenges. Then introduces survey results as a guide model for EGO, as done in a previous study supervised by the author, surveying their awareness of CCT, standards, and factors impacting the migration. It contributed with a “Proposed Generic Cloud Computing Architectural Framework for EGO†to be adopted nationally. It concludes that adopting CCT has a positive impact on IT from a financial & Performance viewpoints that raise its IT capabilities.
