Cloud Computing is one of the biggest or if not the biggest technological service in the world; it's provided companies and individuals with the ability to store, monitor and edit data creating more efficient organizational ecosystems. Due to how big Cloud computing has become, exploring its impacts within companies or e-commerce companies specifically provides a greater deal of understanding towards why this specific service is being adopted and developed at a very quick rate. This research was conducted in order to determine the criterias of cloud computing that enhances those efficiencies, specifically within e-commerce industries, based on the study of past research, factors that could possibly affect these were then further researched, and these were cost benefit, internal decision, autonomy, security and privacy. These criterias were then tested through a quantitative approach using a questionnaire. This questionnaire was conducted towards E-commerce employees within Indonesia possessing IT backgrounds, this is because Cloud computing is quite a broad and in depth subject which the general public may not be aware of in terms of the exact features it provides. Thus, people coming from IT disciplines would most likely possess better knowledge and therefore provide more accurate data. In order to analyze the data and test its quality, several statistical tests were conducted such as the Multiple Linear Regression Model, F-Test, T-Test and so on. The results interpreted that all 4 variables cost benefit, internal decision, autonomy, security and privacy play a significant role towards how the implementation of cloud computing enhances the efficiency of e- commerce industries. However, based upon the Analysis of the Coefficient of Determination, it had calculated that Cost Benefit, Internal Decision, Autonomy, Security and Privacy had a joint influence of 0.438 or 43,8%. Thus, proving that although all the criterias researched within this study possesses some sort of influence, there were still a missing 56.2% of other possible criterias that could be further researched upon. Through the data gathered, explored and analyzed in this research it can be concluded that cloud computing plays a significant role towards increasing the efficiency of the overall companies ecosystem, hence why by this day in age it shouldn’t even be an argument that e-commerce industries must adopt these services within there platform/company as provides great advantages that will ultimately provide better company performance and experience both for the customers and employees themselves.
