    Abstract: With the rapid growth of processing and storage technologies and the success of the Internet, system resources are cheaper, more powerful and more advanced than ever. This technology helps to achieve a new computer model known as cloud computing, in which resources are provided as Internet applications that can be accessed and released from users on the Internet. Business organizations are increasing the cloud experience and they begin to change more important business functions onto cloud platforms. Cloud computing has been growing for companies around the world, but many are finding higher costs and more obstacles to cloud computing adoption than organization anticipated. As this is the latest trend in information technology, some companies are moving toward cloud computing. On the other hand, other companies cannot even take into consideration the idea of having their sensitive data outside their premises. Both of these cases represent companies that are just not very well informed. Over the past two decades, the online business organizations have been facing many commercial problems and challenges in their businesses such as managing available resources effectively, security threats in managing IT resources and high implementation cost. Therefore, this study reveal the literature review of the benefits can be served by cloud computing and the issues and challenges that Online business organizations (SME) faced, and how cloud computing is useful in solving these issues in Sri Lanka.

    Abstract: The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors that influence the adoption of Software as Service (SaaS) at Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs) that have adopted online business in Sri Lanka. Prior studies have shown that SMEs significantly benefit due to the adoption of SaaS. The research sough to explain the adoption of SaaS using Awareness, Trust, Cost, Top Management Support, Complexity and Relative advantage. Conceptualization of this researcher’s variables and their interrelationship have been supported by theory of Diffusion of Innovation (DOI) of Rogers’ (1962) and Technological Organizational and Environmental (TOE) Framework of Tornatzky and Fleisher (1990). The study was conducted among 250 randomly selected SMEs adopting online business using questionnaires addressed to managerial and ICT professionals who were capable of making ICT decision at SMEs under study. However only 224 questionnaires were returned with complete data required for the purpose of analysis. The study employed principal component analysis to reduce the data and employed Ordinary Least Square (OLS) to test the relationship between the variables. It is found that Cost (CT), Complexity (CX) and Relative Advantages (RA) are having significant impact on SaaS adoption in SMEs in Sri Lanka. This study extends the existing body of knowledge by providing empirical support for explaining SaaS adoption by SMEs in Sri Lanka. The finding will help various parties engaging in promoting the adoption of SaaS among SMEs with the view of SMEs’ development in Sri Lanka. On this basis, the researchers are able to recommend firstly, that SaaS is playing a significant role for the development of SMEs in this area of study and finally, that software vendors, policy makers, technological consultants and application developers intend to adopt SaaS should consider the validated model tested in this research study.
