Zusammenfassung

Although cloud computing has highly visible advantages that are propagated since many years, the adoption rate in Germany is still quite low. This paper investigates the reasons why. Therefore, we undertook an empirical study to identify the main barriers and enhancers of cloud computing. Results show that, although the classic data risk and costs benefits still dominate the opinion, they do not significantly influence the usage of cloud computing services.
