Abstract

Acquisition and use of information technology affect banks` on every front of their business processes. Substantial, banks spend highinvestment on IT to position themselves for mergers or acquisitions, to simply protect their competitive advantages, or to expand geographical coverage into the marketplace. In today’s difficult business and economic climate challenged by complex and changing customer and line of business needs, banksare confront problems in providing necessary IT supports to deliver services to customers, partners, and employees anytime, on their preferred device, through the optimum channel.The objective of this research work is to find an alternative solution for acquisition and use of information technology to deliver efficient, flexible and scalable IT services for leveraging Ethiopian Banking Industries from innovative technologies. Interview and a concise survey on cloud computing were used as the research methodology for this study. Interview was selected for information acquisition method from the selected IT managers of banks. On the other hand a concise survey of concerning literatures on the existing state-of-the-art in Cloud provisioning, management and securitywere conducted. The overall system architecture and its elements that form collaborative Cloud infrastructures in bankingsectors, and best practices on cloud-based service implementations from the early adopter banks in the world also explored in this study. The advantages of cloud computing for banking sectors, the limitations of current ICT usages in EBI were briefly discussed in this research paper. Also, an alternative solution to the current ICT utilizationslimitations in EBI is given. The study proposed Hybrid Cloud Computing model. The result shows that the proposed cloud computing service framework can have a capabilities for reducing IT investment cost and management complexity, efficient IT utilization for delivering banking services andimprove collaboration among partners. When the proposed framework implemented it could have significant importance to EBI.
