Abstract
Cloud computing, as being one of the trendy topics, provides mechanisms for the companies to meet all the information technology and management requirements at a desired performance level with reduced upfront investments. From the economical perspective, it creates a positive impact by helping them focus on their own business. With this positive impact, it causes a huge increase on the number of user firms, and many service providers try to provide solutions based on the user firms’ needs. There are studies on identifying the factors that are used in selecting cloud service solutions in the literature. Having examined the pivotal points among the Information Technology (IT) sector in Turkey, we conducted a survey among the managers of various firms to gather information about their cloud service provider and the factors that provision their choice. Since that decision is very strategic, and once decided it is very hard to alter, it is worth analyzing the set of factors that are used in the survey further in order to identify the most important ones and help new companies for their selection. We provide statistical evaluations based on the results of the survey in this study.
