Currently, the trend of information technology transformation towards cloud computing is becoming increasingly apparent. This trend brings with it a number of advantages, but also concerns and limitations for end customers. The question therefore arises as to how Czech small and medium-sized enterprises react to this trend and whether they embark on the implementation of applications based on cloud computing. If they are already starting to implement it, then what types? Are only basic applications that do not require complex implementation of interest to businesses, or are they also starting to implement more complex applications? This article looks at the dynamics of cloud computing development in Czech small and medium-sized enterprises and compares them with developments at the level of the European Union and the Visegrad Four countries.
