Abstract
The research explored if Johannesburg Forensic Pathology Services is ready for the adoption of cloud computing. The readiness test uncovered some of the aspects that the adoption of cloud computing requires prior to its adoption. The use of Johannesburg Forensic Pathology Services as a case study demonstrated that the technology is flexible enough for use in any industry and/or environment. The readiness of the adoption was tested using known theories such as TAM, TOE and UTAUT to expose the possible adoption methodologies that can be implemented. The cloud computing readiness investigation has been documented to demonstrate the benefits that can be attained. The mentioned theories have shown the level of readiness of the case study based on the findings that this research has attained with the use of population sampling and other sources from past literature that had similar or corresponding intentions. The reasoning for the readiness is based on common findings from past investigations and inductions made in this research. This was based on the general understanding of the research that the adoption must be fitting for a government institution that belongs to the public administration in a developing country. Cloud computing has been used in the public space by several different governments with varying economies and leadership traditions. Some international governments have been used as examples after adopting cloud computing, either partially or fully, in their government. This served in demonstrating the possibility of a public entity in using the technology to harness the capabilities of cloud computing. The case study is a government institution that requires a high level of security and control measures for the sensitive and confidential information kept in the facility. The research has demonstrated how the institution can gain greater control of the challenges. The readiness of the case study has been presented herein after intensive data collection and analysis of the findings.
