Abstract

Several organizations, mostly governmental, have adopted information systems for management. They are considered especially helpful for large projects that have a high degree of complexity. Due to this, most firms, especially in developing countries like Jordan, can remain on their core functions with the successful adoption of cloud-based management information systems.
