AN ASSESSMENT OF CHALLENGES IN THE ADOPTION OF CLOUD COMPUTING IN THE INDIAN TEXTILE INDUSTY

Abstract

Information Technology (IT) utilization in the world is now at its peak and is also the most vital technology for any firm to prosper and grow, but this also leads to wastage of resources both human and technological at times by underutilizing or non-optimal utilization of IT resources. A new technology which is still in developmental and growing stage has gained popularity and momentum in recent year’s viz. Cloud Computing. This has been adopted by a number of developed and developing counties as well. This has played a big role in reducing overall hardware expenditure and software implementation and scaling. However many risks and challenges such as Security, Data breach, Vendor locking etc, resulting into questioning of reliability and credibility this further resulted to lower investment from big companies. The aim of the research is to find concrete reason for implementation, non- implementation and recommendation for cloud computing Use of an amalgamation of Qualitative, Quantitative and Exploratory research is extensively used for data collection and analysis. Primary data has been taken via the method of Interviews and Questionnaire both from Top level IT experts and Secondary was taken from various research papers and reports.
