TL;DR
The results show that while Kenyan businesses are adopting cloud computing, they still face cybersecurity risks, limited ICT infrastructure, a shortage of skilled workers, regulatory uncertainty, and concerns about data sovereignty and privacy.
Abstract
This study reviews how businesses in Kenya manage data in cloud systems, examining the challenges and opportunities they face. The research used the PRISMA methodology to analyze academic literature from 2011 to 2026, drawing on Google Scholar, the ACM Digital Library, and IEEE Xplore. It also considered policy documents from Kenyan regulatory bodies to contextualize the findings. Guided by the Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) framework, the review focused on four main areas: cloud adoption and data management, challenges in cloud data management, opportunities for improvement and digital transformation, and regulatory and governance issues. The results show that while Kenyan businesses are adopting cloud computing, they still face cybersecurity risks, limited ICT infrastructure, a shortage of skilled workers, regulatory uncertainty, and concerns about data sovereignty and privacy. The study also found that Kenya’s Data Protection Act (2019) and related ICT policies have had a strong impact on how organizations manage their data.
The paper proposes an integrated value-realization framework and suggests governance-by-design, phased implementation, measurable benefits, and human oversight to AI-powered HR decisions.

The increasing adoption of cloud computing has transformed organizational information management and strategic decision-making by providing secure, scalable, and accessible digital platforms. Despite growing investments in cloud technologies, empirical evidence on the contribution of cloud-based storage to strategic plan execution in large manufacturing organizations remains limited, particularly in developing economies. This study examined the effect of cloud-based storage on strategic plan execution at Coca-Cola Equator Bottlers Ltd., Kisumu County, Kenya. The study was anchored on the Resource-Based View (RBV) theory and the Technology–Organization–Environment (TOE) framework and adopted a pragmatic research philosophy using a case study research design. A census of 84 ICT personnel comprising the ICT Director, ICT Managers, Webmasters, and Senior ICT Technicians was conducted. Data were collected using structured questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, and document review. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation, and simple linear regression, while qualitative data were analyzed thematically. The findings revealed that respondents perceived cloud-based storage to contribute to strategic plan execution to a large extent (Middle-Level Managers: M = 4.20, SD = 0.69; Operational Staff: M = 4.17, SD = 0.71). Correlation analysis showed a strong positive relationship between cloud-based storage and strategic plan execution (r = 0.712, p < 0.001), while regression analysis established that cloud-based storage significantly predicted strategic plan execution (β = 0.712, p < 0.001) and explained 50.7% of its variation (R² = 0.507). The study concludes that cloud-based storage is a critical strategic resource that enhances information accessibility, data backup and recovery, organizational coordination, and decision-making, thereby improving strategic plan execution. The study recommends that manufacturing organizations strengthen investment in secure cloud-based storage infrastructure, robust data governance policies, and continuous employee capacity building to enhance effective strategy implementation.
