• Abstract: Cloud computing has been shown to be an essential enabling technology for public sector organizations PSOs and offers numerous potential benefits, including reduced information technology infrastructure costs, increased innovation potential, and improved resource resilience and scalability. Despite governments' intensifying efforts to realize the benefits of this technology, cloud computing adoption and usage proves to be challenging, posing a variety of organizational and operational issues for PSOs. This systematic analysis constitutes the initial phase of a larger research effort that involves forthcoming case studies of specific public sector cloud stakeholders; it aims to identify and synthesize the available knowledge on organizational cloud computing adoption and utilization in the public sector to provide public sector decision makers and stakeholders with reliable, evidence-based, actionable insights that inform and improve public sector IT practice and policy.
