ABSTRACT

In order to enable enterprise 2.0 technologies like online collaboration and communication, cloud computing has become a widely used practise. Integration of externally envisioned cloud services enables flexible, on-demand sourcing of IT resources, but it also creates new challenges because organisations must reevaluate their business processes, create inter-organizational governance structures, and maintain inter-organizational service relationships with providers. By developing a framework for the cloud sourcing life cycle, this article intends to offer advice on sourcing activities. We develop a life cycle framework for cloud services, identify important issues for providers and customers within each life cycle phase, and draw solutions for resolving those challenges on the basis of the literature and 13 semi-structured expert interviews. By creating a life cycle for cloud sourcing. We offer a fresh framework for organising cloud computing research that takes into account inter-organizational and cloud-specific factors and assist practitioners in overcoming obstacles at particular points in the life cycle of a cloud service.
