Abstract

The DoD tends to implement user based IT systems without quantifying whether those systems would be properly utilized by the target populous. Focus is generally emphasized on mission enhancement rather than looking at how or if it will be utilized by organizations. There would appear to be no reason for cloud computing to be implemented with the same disregard for acceptance and success. The day of large amounts of data is here and needs to converge with what this thesis investigates, the factors that positively influence organization acceptance and success of cloud computing specifically in the DoD so that is can properly maintain, utilize and store that data. This research focused in depth on that utilization.
