Abstract
The authors, within the present research, aim at making more extensive use of ICT by developing a cloud service strategy that will contribute to the dissemination of knowledge and help in deployment. Companies will be able to assess their readiness to implement cloud services, explore the approaches, benefits and disadvantages of cloud services. Cloud services are a solution to most SMEs, regardless of size, activity or existing ICT infrastructure. Smaller companies can implement SaaS-type solutions, but companies with advanced ICT infrastructure can focus on IaaS and PaaS-type solutions.
