dc.description.abstractFinancial service providers in South Africa are failing to leverage the benefits that cloud computing could contribute to their business and clients. The primary objectives of cloud computing include reducing overall Information Technology (IT) service costs and processing time whilst increasing process throughput, reliability, availability and flexibility. However, despite these advantages, both strategically and operationally, there is still a relatively slow adoption rate. This can be attributed to the potential pitfalls of the technology such as security concerns, failure downtime resulting from server maintenance or unforeseen outages, implementation complexity and compatibility issues. Very few migration readiness assessment strategies exist, and those that do exist are focused at a much higher level of abstraction.
