Abstract

As the family of Enterprise 2.0 technologies is developing and gaining market share, and migration to cloud-based computing becomes more of a natural choice for the managers of many small or medium-sized organizations, a growing number of companies start to look interested in the new wave of technologies. Even if the adoption rate of cloud-based services is rapidly increasing, the migration process is far from being smooth, or even standardized. Thus, the potential beneficiary of a migration faces a wide range of challenges on many levels: operational, software, platform, infrastructure, security etc. Based on both literature review and action research, the paper at hand is a synthesis for the results of an empirical study (a survey) performed during the last two years among Romanian and foreign small and medium-sized companies’ managers, in order to pinpoint the most important non-technical challenges that an executive has to face when looking at a migration to the cloud. The paper is a part of a larger research performed in the field of Enterprise 2.0 technologies.
