Organizations have migrated from on-premise enterprise information systems to Cloud-based Enterprise Information Systems (Cloud-EIS) due to the benefits of cloud computing, such as flexibility, availability on demand, and interdependence in information technology infrastructure. Accordingly, enterprises perceive the significance of the quality of Cloud-EIS for improving their businesses, and they pay more attention to selecting the suitable Cloud-EIS. Having looked at the extensive literature, only a few researchers have studied the quality of cloud-based solutions, yet their quality dimensions appear to be subjective, not well-quantifiable, and insufficient for evaluating the quality of Cloud-EIS. While this area is not completely explored, it has attracted deep interest from both enterprises and cloud providers. Therefore, this study presents a comprehensive and hierarchically-structured quality model of Cloud-EIS, which provides a systematic evaluation for diagnosing the quality of Cloud-EIS products. Consequently, the metrics of the quality model of Cloud-EIS are developed and used for quality evaluation of three Cloud-EIS products. Finally, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method is employed in order to rank the quality factors of Cloud-EIS. The results show that the most significant quality factors are determined as security & privacy, reliability, functionality, usability and maintainability.

Enterprise resource planning systems selection process
Kenaroğlu, Bahar; Erdil, Erkan; Department of Science and Technology Policy Studies (2004)
In this study, a research is developed to establish a comprehensive framework for ERP systems selection process and provide guidance for better ERP systems selection and evaluation by investigating all the aspects of the selection process. The research is conducted through a comprehensive study prior to key information systems journals, conferences, overall enterprise information systems materials in electronic databases, and also in practitioner journals. As a result, the study is able to present a compreh...
A Software Development Process Model for Cloud by Combining Traditional Approaches
Hacaloglu, Tuna; Eren, Pekin Erhan; Mishra, Deepti; Mishra, Alok (2015-10-30)
Even though cloud computing is a technological paradigm that has been adopted more and more in various domains, there are few studies investigating the software development lifecycle in cloud computing applications and there is still not a comprehensive software development process model developed for cloud computing yet. Due to the nature of cloud computing that is completely different from the traditional software development, there is a need of suggesting process models to perform the software developmen...
Development of partner selection algorithms in forming virtual enterprise consortiums
Nikghadam, Shahrzad; Akkök, Metin; Ünver, Hakkı Özgür; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2015)
Recent developments in information technologies and internet based applications provide a reliable infrastructure for enterprises to communicate and corporate with each other. In order to take advantage of these facilities, individual companies may cooperate with each other within a consortium framework, to share their resources with the aim of responding to a customer demand. Virtual Enterprise is such a collaboration concept established on the basis of these features. Not surprisingly, success of VE as a ...
A cots-software requirements elicitation method from business process models
Aslan, Ercan; Demirörs, Onur; Department of Information Systems (2002)
In this thesis, COTS-software requirements elicitation, which is an input for RFP in software intensive automation system̕s acquisition, is examined. Business Process Models are used for COTS-software requirements elicitation. A new method, namely CREB, is developed to meet the requirements of COTS-software. A software intensive system acquisition of a military organization is used to validate the method.
A survey of partner selection methodologies for virtual enterprises and development of a goal programming-based approach
Nikghadam, Shahrzad; Sadigh, Bahram Lotfi; ÖZBAYOĞLU, AHMET MURAT; ÜNVER, HAKKI ÖZGÜR; KILIÇ, SADIK ENGİN (2016-07-01)
A virtual enterprise (VE) is a platform that enables dynamic collaboration among manufacturers and service providers with complementary capabilities in order to enhance their market competitiveness. The performance of a VE as a system depends highly on the performance of its partner enterprises. Hence, choosing an appropriate methodology for evaluating and selecting partners is a crucial step toward creating a successful VE. In this paper, we begin by presenting an extensive review of articles that address ...
