Abstract

최근 클라우드 컴퓨팅이 학계나 실무계에서 많은 주목을 받고 있으며, 공공기관에서도 클라우드 컴퓨팅을 도입하고 있는 추세에 있다. 클라우드 컴퓨팅은 장 단점을 모두 가지고 있지만 지속적으로 발전하고 있으며, 기업들은 클라우드 기반의 정보시스템을 도입하기 위한 다양한 솔루션들을 활용하고 있다. 따라서 기업에서 클라우드 컴퓨팅 도입을 위해 고려해야 할 요소들은 무엇이며, 어떻게 계획을 수립할 것인지는 시급한 과제라고 할 수 있다. 본 논문의 목적은 기업이 클라우드 컴퓨팅 채택 전략을 수립하기 위한 프레임 워크를 제시하는 것이다. 구체적으로, SWOT-AHP는 클라우드 컴퓨팅을 실행하는 과정에서 강점-약점-기회-위협 요인을 파악하고, 전략 계획을 보다 효율적으로 수립 하는데 사용된다. 경영전략 이론에서 널리 알려져 있는 SWOT과 다기준의사결정기법 중 실무에서 가장 활발하게 사용되고 있는 AHP는 복잡하지 않고 적용이 쉽기 때문에 본 연구에서 제안하는 방법을 이용한다면 실무에서도 큰 어려움 없이 SWOT-AHP 프레임워크를 클라우드 컴퓨팅 전략수립에 적용할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
