CLOUD COMPUTING APPLICATIONS AND BUSINESS COST SOLUTION MANAGEMENT IN A GLOBAL SYSTEM
Keywords:
Cloud computing, Business cost Solution Management, global systemAbstract
The study focused on Cloud Computing Applications and Business Cost Solution Management in a global system. The researcher formulated three research questions and three hypotheses that guided the study. Related literature were reviewed. The study employed a descriptive survey research design. The population of the study comprised 150 computer administrators in Abia State of Nigeria. The researcher used 70 computer administrators as random sampling for the study. This sample size was determined by using the guidelines provided by Krejcie and Morgan sample size table. The researcher used structured questionnaires to collect the needed data. The instrument was validated by two experts, one in University of Uyo and the other in the College of Education (Technical) Arochukwu. The researcher ascertained the reliability of the instrument by using Cronbach Alpha which shows the result of 0.8 reliability coefficient. The total numbers of questionnaires distributed to the respondents were 80 copies, out of which 70 copies were used for the purpose of this research work. Simple Linear Regression was used to answer the research questions and test the hypotheses at 0.05 significant level, at appropriate degree of freedom. Findings of the study revealed that there is significant influence of Cloud Computing Applications and Business Cost Solution Management in a global system. It was concluded that cloud computing applications these technologies not only support operational effectiveness but also serve as cost-saving mechanisms for businesses aiming to remain competitive in the digital economy. It was recommended that businesses should consider adopting IoT solutions tailored to their operational needs. These technologies can help monitor processes, reduce manual interventions, and minimize equipment failures, leading to measurable cost savings.References
