Abstract

Modern realities require society to implement digital technologies that are becoming increasingly complex and intelligent. Digitalization is becoming an integral component of all spheres of human activity. The trend of development and economic growth of companies and organizations is cloud technologies, which allow organizations to have flexible costs in the IT sector and regulate them by purchasing access to resources and services from providers instead of purchasing the resources and services themselves. For organizations that make decisions related to the use of cloud services, there are difficulties in evaluating and optimally choosing services and providers, because there are no generally accepted guidelines or procedures for this yet. On the other hand, providers face the problem of ensuring the proper quality of cloud services provided to users. Both providers and users need to have tools that allow them to identify and assess the possible risks of cloud services. One of such tools can be an expert system for evaluating cloud services, the concept of which is considered in this article.
