【 摘 要 】

This study aims to present and discuss potentials of the evolution of cloud computing from the point of view of innovation and its adoption from the organizational prism. For such, disruptive innovation is adopted as a characteristic in the origin and dissemination of this computational concept to the market. The potential in changing the habits of users in terms of resources for storing data and information is the main reason for this characterization, especially in the impact on information management in organizations. Cloud computing has had some questioning until it’s consolidation as a computer model, some of these have not yet entirely resolved but a factor that has not prevented its spread because the benefits stand out. In the organizational environment, this aspect is perceived by the possibility of reducing the investment in support of Information and Communication Technologies in detriment of conventional support, that is, investment in the own data center. This study is characterized as exploratory and adopts bibliographic research as a method, the study results in the proposal of a model that combines cloud computing and information management. The study shows that cloud computing can be an effective alternative for information management, provided that full knowledge of users' information needs is considered, which is a critical success factor for the correct management of data resources and information. and organized in the cloud.
