Abstract
Cloud computing is a technology whose potential is recognized by both private and public sectors in possibilities of savings and high flexibility for the entities which decide to use it. Measurement of cloud computing efficiency and economic assessment of migration is one of the biggest current and future challenges. The aim of this article is to characterize an assessment model of cloud computing with respect to the use in company’s practice when evaluating the effectiveness of investments. The model is based on the conditions of the European business environment. Within the framework of this study, attention is drawn to the metric measurements which are good to follow or use in the process of evaluating the effectiveness of cloud computing.
