In 2006 it was estimated that ICT contributes directly to EU GDP growth by about 5%. According to "The Global Information Technology Report 2013 - Growth and Jobs in the hyperconnected world" study, Romania is lagging behind most EU Member States in the field of information and communications technology (ICT), ranking 75 out of 142 countries in the Network Readiness Index (NRI) in 2013, the index that measures the tendency of countries to exploit the opportunities offered by IT&C. Although Romania has achieved a good infrastructural score it suffers in terms of market and regulatory environments and alack of coherent government vision to develop IT&C. This article aims to present the perception of students attending research or professional master classes organized by the Faculty of Accounting and Management Information Systems regarding the usefulness of „cloud computing” technology adoption by Romanian companies.
