The Impact of Cloud Computing, Productivity, and Cost Reduction

Abstract

Cloud computing has become a paradigm shift technology that profoundly affects the performance of organizations by increasing productivity and is less costly to operate. This research looks at how adoption of cloud computing has contributed to an improvement in productivity and cost efficiency among contemporary organizations. The fast movement towards digital transformation has stimulated businesses to move towards cloud-based solutions to facilitate operation, enhance teamwork, and better use of resources. This research project investigates the role of cloud computing services like Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Software as a Service (SaaS) in promoting organizational productivity at a minimal capital and operational cost through a quantitative research methodology. The results imply that cloud computing can provide more than mere scalability and flexibility, cost reductions due to less IT infrastructure investment and maintenance expenses. Moreover, the work identifies a contribution of the cloud technology to enhancing efficiency of the workflow, access to data, and the capacity to innovate. The findings offer useful insights to organisations that want to embrace cloud solutions in order to achieve sustainable growth and competitive advantage.
