چکیده

هدف: با توجه به نوآوری‌های ایجادشده در صنعت فناوری اطلاعات طی سال‌های اخیر، وابستگی به فناوری رایانش ابری افزایش یافته است. رایانش ابری در سال‌های اخیر رشد چشمگیری داشته و پذیرش آن چالش زیرساختی فعلی صنعت نرم‌افزار است، زیرا تغییری اساسی در این صنعت ایجاد می‌کند. علیرغم مزایای گسترده خدمات رایانش ابری، پذیرش این خدمات از سوی سازمان‌ها محدود باقی مانده و بسیاری از شرکت‌های نرم‌افزاری به دلایل مختلف در پذیرش این فناوری مردد هستند. این مطالعه عوامل مؤثر بر تصمیمات سازمانی در پذیرش رایانش ابری را با استفاده از چارچوب فناوری-سازمان-محیط بررسی می‌کند.
روش پژوهش: در این پژوهش از ترکیب روش های مرور نظام‌مند ارائه‌شده توسط کیچن هام و چارترز (2007)، تحلیل محتوا و تحلیل مضمون استفاده شده است و 26 مقاله بین سال‌های 2014 تا 2024 انتخاب شده‌اند. داده‌های تکمیلی از طریق مصاحبه با 9 نفر از تصمیم گیرندگان ارشد نرم افزار و رایانش ابری در شرکت های نرم افزاری مطرح ایران جمع‌آوری گردیده است.
یافته‌ها: نتایج نشان می‌دهد که عوامل فناورانه مانند امنیت، پیچیدگی، سازگاری و مزیت نسبی؛ عوامل سازمانی شامل حمایت مدیریت ارشد، اندازه سازمان و صرفه‌جویی در هزینه؛ و عوامل محیطی نظیر فشار رقابتی، سیاست‌های حمایتی و تخصص خارجی، از مهم‌ترین مؤلفه‌های تأثیرگذار بر پذیرش رایانش ابری در صنعت نرم افزار ایران هستند. توازن میان این عوامل برای تسریع تحول دیجیتال در سازمان‌ها ضروری است.
نتیجه‌گیری: این مطالعه با استخراج و طبقه‌بندی این عوامل، بر اهمیت توجه به تمامی جنبه‌های فنی، سازمانی و محیطی تأکید دارد. نتایج نشان می‌دهد که سازمان‌ها با پرداختن به این عوامل می‌توانند روند پذیرش فناوری رایانش ابری را تسهیل کرده و به تحول دیجیتال دست یابند. توجه ویژه به سیاست‌گذاری‌های حمایتی و توسعه زیرساخت‌ها می‌تواند نقش مهمی در افزایش بهره‌وری و رقابت‌پذیری صنعت نرم افزار ایران ایفا کند.

چکیده [English]

Objective: Due to the innovations in the IT industry in recent years, the dependence on cloud computing technology has increased. Cloud computing has grown significantly in recent years and its adoption is a current infrastructure challenge for the software industry, as it creates a fundamental change in this industry. Despite the extensive benefits of cloud computing services, the adoption of these services by organizations remains limited and many software companies are hesitant to adopt this technology for various reasons. This study examines the factors affecting organizational decisions to adopt cloud computing using the technology-organization-environment framework.
Methods: This research utilizes a combination of methods, including the systematic literature review approach proposed by Kitchenham and Charters (2007), content analysis, and thematic analysis. A total of 26 articles published between 2014 and 2024 were selected. Supplementary data were collected through interviews with nine senior decision-makers specializing in software and cloud computing from leading Iranian software companies.
Results: The results indicate that technological factors such as security, complexity, compatibility, and relative advantage; organizational factors including top management support, organizational size, and cost savings; and environmental factors such as competitive pressure, supportive policies, and external expertise are the most critical components influencing cloud computing adoption in Iran’s software industry. Balancing these factors is essential to accelerating digital transformation within organizations.
Conclusions: This study highlights the significance of addressing all technological, organizational, and environmental aspects by identifying and categorizing these factors. The findings suggest that organizations focusing on these elements can facilitate cloud computing adoption and achieve digital transformation. Special attention to supportive policies and infrastructure development can play a pivotal role in enhancing the productivity and competitiveness of Iran's software industry.
