Abstract

Investing in cloud computing technology is one of the latest trends in IT. This is a multi criteria investment decision involving many stakeholders and a sequence of coordinated assessment activities that are strategic, qualitative (technical) and quantitative (financial) in nature. This paper integrates an information system (IS) success model with preference elicitation techniques drawn from the multi-criteria decision-making literature. We also show how this decision model can be extended as a vendor negotiation tool. Finally, we describe a prototype Decision Support System (DSS) featuring this model.
