E-readiness framework for cloud computing adoption in higher education

The Higher Education (HE) is recognized as one of the pillars of community development. In the spirit of Tri Dharma, HE is required to give maximum contribution to people's life. Nevertheless, sometimes these operations have impacts on big-funding requirements, so it is common for private HE with minimal funding tofind difficulties in the operation processes. The presence of cloud computing (CC) technology is a solution to support HE operations. The challenges faced by a HE nowadaysto adopt new technology such as CC will be related to the ITreadiness. Thus an eReadiness framework should be used to perform the measurement of IT readiness level, so the adoption process can run well. This paper discusses what enablers dimensions influence CC eReadiness in HE, and the HE eReadiness positions in West of Java. By using the enterprise enabler of IT governance COBIT 5, eReadiness framework will be designed with the goal to measure the readiness level based on maturity assessment model.
