Abstract

Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) gains increasing importance as a new, flexible provisioning model for IT resources. However, its uptake in the enterprise environment is not without its challenges; among the most important ones are organizational issues. This paper presents an IaaS acceptance model based on multiple theoretical dimensions, which focuses on organizational drivers and barriers to IaaS deployment. It was challenged in a series of expert interviews and the resulting hypotheses give new insights into IaaS adoption drivers and represent a solid foundation for future empirical studies.
