Oduor, Michael Evans. 2010. Cloud Computing Integration for Business, The Case of Meri-Lapin Majakka Ry. Bachelor’s Thesis. Kemi-Tornio University of Applied Sciences. Business and Culture. Pages 74. Appendices 2.
The advancements in information technology have led to increased levels of automation which have greatly improved the methods of working. These advancements have led to the concept of cloud computing which is a new concept in the information communication and technology field that has created a lot of buzz. This work entailed development of a framework for Meri-Lapin Majakka Ry that will provide them with a new means of conducting their business by utilizing the Cloud. This research involved identification of the key factors to consider before moving to the Cloud. Additionally, the advantages of Cloud Computing and the security concerns when one’s information is stored and managed in the cloud are also discussed. Finally, a discussion on the integration concerns and how Cloud Computing solutions can be integrated into the normal business functions.
A combination of descriptive and exploratory research was utilized in this work. The choice was based on the fact that the researcher intended to gain a greater understanding and provide a detailed picture of CC and the issues to consider when moving information to the cloud. Exploratory research also allows development of ideas and freedom to express opinions. Descriptive research will be used to develop a framework of working for Meri-Lapin Majakka Ry which may lead to a change and/or improvement in their business functions and processes by utilizing cloud computing.
The result of this work is a proposed scenario of how various Cloud-based solutions can be utilized within the case of organization. This implies a change in their working methods which could have a significant impact on the association and her work.
