The impact of using cloud computing on the economic prosperity of e-businesses

Summary/Abstract: Cloud computing is one of the new concepts in the field of information and communication technology, which means the use of computing resources (hardware and software) and a set of servers through a network. The main purpose of the present study is to design a conceptual model of business based on cloud computing. Therefore, in this study, researchers have used a qualitative research method and a content analysis strategy to identify important factors and components related to the phenomenon of sustainable cloud businesses. The statistical population of the study consists of all managers and experts familiar with data and communication technology in the field of electronic businesses in Uzbekistan, and the sample of the statistical population includes 145 people. The sampling method used in the study is whole-number sampling. A questionnaire was used to collect data related to factors affecting the use of cloud computing. The validity of the questionnaire was examined and confirmed by professors and experts in the field of data and communication technology. The reliability of the questionnaire was calculated at a good level using Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of 0.92. Based on the research findings, five influential factors (cost, innovation, security, interaction, performance) were identified in the use of cloud computing. In the next step, and in the analysis of the five factors affecting the use of cloud computing, it was determined. The innovation and interaction factors explain 28.25 and 13.58% of the total variance, respectively, which indicates that these factors are more important than the other five factors. The results of this research identify the competitive advantages of using cloud computing for companies operating in the field of e-commerce and provide implementation strategies for its use.
