Cloud computing, a term introduced ten years ago, has
proliferated rapidly both in developed and developing
economies. Benefit expectations have impacted the rapid
usage increase of this technology. We investigated with a
five-year longitudinal survey changes in the expectations
regarding cloud computing. We also crafted an integrated
multilevel model to understand how cloud expectations and
cloud readiness influence cloud computing deployment and
performance combined with five IT business value (ITBV)
factors. We tested empirically the crafted hypotheses and
the research model using survey data collected from
approximately 200+200 randomly selected business and IT
executives in 2014 and 2015. Empirical results confirmed
that our research model explained approximately one half
of cloud computing performance for both years.
