The paradigm framework of cloud migration based on BPR and gBPR

The rise of cloud services also raises numerous myths and problems. On one hand, the definitions of cloud services are misunderstood or misapplied; on the other hand, neither governments/enterprises are fully prepared for the new phenomena, nor have the shift paradigms been established. As a result, many failure examples are found in the transformation to cloud environment. Business process reengineering created a revolutionary tide in many businesses in late of the 20^th century. Business put a lot of efforts to examine and change processes radically to improve performance. As the concept of energy saving and environmental protection has got great attentions around the world, the term Green BPR that focuses on the redesign of the processes within and between enterprises to meet the characteristics of green IT gives a new definition to BPR. This research aims to combine the concept of BPR and GBPR to set up a paradigm for could migration so that the enterprises can be transformed to cloud successfully. The research agenda that applies BPR and gBPR in cloud migration is proposed in this paper. The framework of the paradigms of the migration to cloud is established as well.
