Cloud adoption decision support for SMEs using Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP)

For a successful cloud adoption, decision makers need to consider numerous aspects before deciding to adopt cloud infrastructure. In this paper, we propose a framework to support cloud adoption decisions for SMEs in Tamil Nadu (India) using the established principles of Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). This study is focused on SMEs in Tamil Nadu, one of the constituent states of the Indian Union. This paper reports on the findings of applying AHP to real data collected from decision makers and demonstrates its usefulness as a decision support tool for SMEs in Tamil Nadu.
