Cloud Computing is an emerging technology that gains wide influence on information technology (IT) systems by providing a friendly environment to its user with various services such as SaaS, PaaS,, and IaaS.

In Order to digitize  every sector of Middle east cloud computing can be adopted like E-education, E-commerce, E-Health........&..........many more. But before adopting cloud computing  the managerial plan must be changed and should analyze its possibility and risks.

Thanks
