Abstract
The development of cloud computing has opened up new opportunities for enterprises in implementing information and communication technologies. Despite the numerous benefits associated with its use, certain barriers and risks also emerge, affecting organizational functioning. To assess their nature and scope, the authors conducted empirical research among companies using services based on the Cloud Computing model, applying the ELECTRE TRI method — a tool belonging to the group of Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) methods. The analysis of the results indicated that the most significant challenges are of an organizational nature. At the same time, most of the surveyed enterprises were classified into categories indicating a low or moderate level of perceived barriers and risks.Keywords
