Cloud computing has emerged as a solution for companies with limited financial capabilities. Using cloud computing gives the companies extra capabilities. Previous studies attempted to find the factors that influence the adoption of cloud computing. However, the majority has focused on technical issues of the adoption. An agreement on the factors that influence the adoption of cloud computing has not yet arrived. Thus, the purpose of this study is to review the literature and integrate the view of previous studies to find the factors that influence the adoption of cloud computing. The study aims to develop a conceptual model. Twelve models of those who investigated the adoption of cloud computing were reviewed and analyzed. Factors that influence the adoption were extracted from the models. The most frequent factors were proposed to influence the adoption of cloud computing. The finding of this study suggested that perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, security, compatibility, cost, and top management support are the factors that influence the adoption of cloud computing. Recommendation for future work included qualitative study and empirical testing of the proposed model.
