Abstract
The governments of the Arab Gulf have given strong guidelines on growing the use of the cloud in the public sector as part of their digital strategy. The adoption of cloud is identified as the most significant investment pillar within digital transformation initiatives. Cloud is a model or architecture and a modern framework for computation. And the Service-Oriented Design is the central architecture. Cloud Computing has emerged as a core resource-sharing computing network that incorporates storage, apps, frameworks, and business processes. Digital open Governance (DOG) plays a critical position across every enterprise, and digital open governance systems are assisted by clouds of multiple levels. Cloud has a range of resources that are combined and reused. Since digital open governance utilizes distributed services, this needs a lot of infrastructure. Cloud platforms are beneficial in reducing infrastructure and software expenses. This paper explains how cloud services can be used in digital open governance applications to reduce hardware and platform costs, improve network protection, etc. Digital open government cloud-based project, in Kuwait, is considered to be of great importance for free government agencies. In spite of the fact that it has evolved phenomenally, there are still many adoption challenges faced by various open governmental data cloud-based digital services; problems require careful treatment and consideration by any government agency which intends to implement it. The current paper discovers the different features of the degree to which these barriers obstruct the adoption and utilize of cloud computing in the Kuwaiti public area, and also examines the impact of the barriers on the participants’ perception of security. The practical proof that was seen by participant’s offered strong responses to the set online questionnaire from Kuwaiti users, which comprised IT-staff from several government sectors.
