Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the literature on the subject of adoption of cloud computing technologies. The idea is to provide an overview of the current situation of research on cloud services and major adoption theories. The methodology used in the research is a systematic review of the literature for which 75 books and journals in the field of information systems have been reviewed to identify and categorize 24 articles on the subject. The exploratory analysis of the results has been based on content, methodologies and adoption models, referencing the main theoretical and empirical work on cloud computing services. The conclusions of this investigation show the importance of connecting the most used models in the field of research with the most relevant works carried out to date.
