Abstract: | The technology landscape is rapidly evolving in cloud computing, its accessibility,
scalability and effectiveness can embark socio-economic development. The paper aims at
providing an analysis of cloud computing in by exploring the ICT infrastructure and the
patterns of cloud system for socio-economy development in the regions. Cloud computing is
very new and embryo stage in Africa, and the difusion of computing in the region is
promising due to the improvement of cloud carriers and consumers participation. The
challenges are fragmented cloud computing practices in the continent. The cloud
computing conceptual reference model are not widely used for electronic socio-economic
development activities. Therefore, the fastest economy growth countries in the region will
be vibrating by the import ICT goods (import inflation) cost and market competitiveness in
the global market share. This paper provides insight threats and opportunities when
adopting a cloud computing for electronic socio-economic development. Systematic
literature review and data analysis from international databases like World Bank and
International Telecommunication Union (ITU) are a key data source. |
