The Distinction Between in Cloud Computing of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises in The Field of E-commerce
Abstract
This study explores the nuanced landscape of cloud computing adoption within small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) operating in the dynamic field of e-commerce. As businesses increasingly turn to cloud solutions to enhance their operational efficiency and competitiveness, examining the distinct challenges and opportunities faced by SMEs in contrast to larger enterprises is imperative. The research delves into the specific nuances that differentiate cloud computing practices between SMEs and explores the impact of these differences on their e-commerce operations. This study aims to provide valuable insights into optimising cloud strategies tailored to SMEs' unique needs and constraints in the e-commerce domain through a comprehensive analysis of case studies, empirical data, and industry trends. Ultimately, the research seeks to contribute to a deeper understanding of the evolving landscape of cloud computing in the context of SMEs, offering practical implications for enhancing their digital infrastructure and fostering sustainable growth in the ever-evolving e-commerce landscape. In order to thrive in the current competitive landscape, small and medium-sized enterprises must adjust to the realities of Internet commerce. In essence, the issue is SMEs need more access to financing, which limits their ability to compete. Due to the SMEs' current circumstances, it is now essential for them to open markets through e-commerce, which has made a more reliable digital platform necessary. In today's competitive economy, going up to international markets is no longer required; SMEs should be able to complete tasks faster. The fundamentals of information systems for SMEs, which will serve as the foundation in this direction, are financial and understood in the sense that SMEs ought to be compelled to use them. Cloud computing for SME e-commerce aims to clarify the need in this research setting. Cloud computing platforms' benefits to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are becoming increasingly important.
