I am currently working on my dissertation where I aim to investigate
how cloud computing can empower NGO's.I would appreciate if anyone
could provide me academic papers, studies and/or research that could
help me in relation to this?
Thanks

Yes, Could computing will go with minimal cost, immediate return on investment and with better efficiency then other traditional approaches.
For some NGO's, Salesforce.com is giving free licenses. 1% of their licenses they are giving for NGO's.
From my perspective, empower NGO mean how NGO can utilise Cloud computing resources at minimal cost compare to the traditional approach. Am I right in thinking that what you meant?

Hi thanks for responding to this thread.
And yes david you got it right.
So far what I have gathered is that there are lot me promises/offer for ngo to move on to cloud but still we don't find ngo (small-medium) adopting it.

NGOs can group together to form a massive Federated Cloud,
but working alone, they cannot achieve the Economy of scale.
A Federated Cloud will allow the "at cost" access because it will
be co-owned by those consumers.
See here for a more thorough analysis:

> the drawbacks depending on the Cloud service provider.
Yes, but what if the NGO *is* the provider?
What are the drawbacks of the provider and the consumer being one-and-the-same?
One I can see is a lack of scale would keep efficiency too low.
But if hundreds of NGOs were to co-own a NGO cloud, then the service
would be under their full control, and they would provide and receive that
service for no more than the real costs of production.
Profit is undefined when Product is ROI.
Consumers, as Investors, can fund the creation of a cloud, and then
accept Product (the services themselves) as payment for that risk.
This perfects competition and eliminates vendor relationship management
since the vendor and customer are the very same group.
