    SME and NPO readiness for adopting software-as-a-service in developing countries
    (2012) Madisha, Moritlha; Van Belle, Jean-Paul
    This research aims to study [Software-as-a-Service] SaaS readiness and adoption in South Africa. South Africa is an emerging economy, but it has the qualities of both an emerging and a developing country. The telecommunications infrastructure in particular has the qualities of a developing country. This study focuses on small to medium sized organisations, comprising both enterprises and non-profit organisations. Molla and Licker's (2005a) Perceived E-Readiness Model (PERM) is adapted and used to study SaaS readiness and adoption. Important SaaS multi-theoretical factors were added to the PERM to increase the rigorousness of the model.
