    abstract = {The objective of this study is to identify determinants of cloud computing adoption at firm level. The
research model is developed based on the Diffusion of Innovation (DOI) theory. It is proposed that the
adoption of cloud computing is being influenced by relative advantage, compatibility and complexity. Data were
collected via a questionnaire-based survey completed by 132 mid-to-senior level executives and managers of
Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Malaysia. Of the technological factors covered, only complexity is
found to be significant to cloud computing adoption. The findings contribute to knowledge in cloud computing,
specifically with regards to the drivers of cloud computing adoption from the technological context. The
findings can assist government agencies to accelerate the use of cloud computing by the SMEs and to raise
awareness and understanding of SMEs about the concept of cloud computing and its potential benefits.}
