An Evaluation of E-Readiness Cloud Computing Service Model Adoption on Indonesian Higher Education

The adoption rate of cloud computing technology in Indonesia is still low. In fact, Indonesia is still considered in the early stages of adopting (early adopter). One of the requirements for a successful digital transformation program can be seen in the cloud adoption rate. Already many industries, businesses and government institutions that adopt cloud technology, but higher education are not optimal in utilizing it. Higher Education known the potential benefits of using cloud computing. This allows higher education to avoid providing excessive Information Technology (IT) infrastructure and reduce maintenance costs. With the development of technology and services in cloud computing, higher education must be ready and courageous in utilizing this technology. The previous research mentions that the factors that determine the adoption of IT in higher education are the Impact and Benefits of IT Products for Higher Education, Infrastructure Availability, Intercultural Competition, IT Knowledge Academic Civitas, Civitas Academic Participation, IT Leadership, Technology Trend, and the existence of Blue Print IT. Another study related to e-readiness of Cloud Computing Service states that the factors that greatly affect the process of readiness of cloud computing adoption in higher education are the availability of IT Infrastructure and good IT Planning. The problem arises when the concept of e-readiness is combined with the adoption of information technology in this case cloud computing. This paper will present the results of the evaluation of the e-readiness cloud computing adoption service model at higher education. The research method used is Design Science Research Method (DSRM) from Peffers with statistical data processing using SPSS software tools. The result of data processing shows that the measurement of e-readiness adoption of cloud computing service model in higher education is influenced by the availability and competence of IT staff, Infrastructure Availability, and the existence of good IT planning.
