Cloud Computing is widely recognized as a recent computing paradigm of digital transformation, in which scalable and elastic computational resources are delivered as a service through internet technologies. Understanding the impacts of the Cloud model on how companies organize their processes is essential. This study aims to investigate the main impacts of the Cloud Computing model on the processes within the Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) framework. A systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted, whose results suggest that certain aspects may be underexplored in the traditional academic literature. Consequently, we conducted qualitative research using semi-structured interviews with ITIL-certified professionals from nine countries. This approach allowed us to collect valuable and in-depth insights, contributing to a better understanding of the subject. Our analysis of the SLR results indicates that several ITIL framework processes have been affected, which may lead to a re-evaluation of the framework. We identified benefits, constraints to innovation, and strategies for creating a sustainable environment when implementing these processes. The findings revealed a scarcity of studies on the relationship between Cloud Computing and ITIL. Perspectives from ITIL professionals provided useful insights into the benefits, constraints, impacts, and affected processes. This study may serve as a valuable resource for ITIL clients, decision-makers, and developers.
La computación en la nube es ampliamente reconocida como un paradigma emergente en el contexto de la transformación digital, en el cual los recursos computacionales escalables y flexibles se proporcionan como servicios mediante tecnologías basadas en internet. Comprender los impactos de este modelo en la organización de los procesos empresariales resulta fundamental. El presente estudio tiene como objetivo analizar los principales efectos del modelo de computación en la nube sobre los procesos definidos en el marco de la Biblioteca de Infraestructura de Tecnologías de la Información (ITIL, por sus siglas en inglés). Para ello, se llevó a cabo una revisión sistemática de la literatura, cuyos resultados indican que ciertos aspectos han sido escasamente abordados en la literatura académica tradicional. En respuesta a esta limitación, se desarrolló una investigación cualitativa basada en entrevistas semiestructuradas a profesionales certificados en ITIL provenientes de nueve países. Esta metodología permitió obtener aportes valiosos y en profundidad, lo que contribuyó a una comprensión más integral del fenómeno. El análisis de los resultados de la revisión de literatura revela que múltiples procesos contemplados en el marco ITIL se han visto afectados, lo que podría justificar una revaluación del mismo. Se identificaron beneficios, restricciones a la innovación y estrategias para fomentar un entorno sostenible durante la implementación de dichos procesos. Asimismo, los hallazgos evidencian una escasez de estudios que exploren la relación entre computación en la nube e ITIL. Las perspectivas de los profesionales entrevistados ofrecieron conocimientos significativos sobre los beneficios, limitaciones, impactos y procesos involucrados. Este estudio puede constituirse en un recurso valioso para clientes, tomadores de decisiones y desarrolladores que operan bajo el marco ITIL.

Entender os impactos do modelo de computação em nuvem na forma como as empresas organizam seus processos é essencial. Este estudo tem como objetivo investigar os principais impactos desse modelo nos processos no âmbito da Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL). Foi realizada uma revisão sistemática da literatura, cujos resultados sugerem que certos aspectos foram escassamente abordados na literatura acadêmica tradicional. Consequentemente, realizamos uma pesquisa qualitativa por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas com profissionais certificados em ITIL de nove países. Essa abordagem nos permitiu coletar insights valiosos e aprofundados, contribuindo para uma melhor compreensão do assunto. Nossa análise dos resultados da revisão indica que vários processos do framework ITIL foram afetados, o que pode levar à sua reavaliação. Identificamos benefícios, restrições à inovação e estratégias para criar um ambiente sustentável ao implementar esses processos. Os resultados revelaram uma escassez de estudos sobre a relação entre computação em nuvem e ITIL. As perspectivas dos profissionais da ITIL forneceram informações úteis sobre os benefícios, restrições, impactos e processos afetados. Este estudo pode servir como um recurso valioso para clientes, tomadores de decisão e desenvolvedores.
