Cloud computing has become increasingly popular in recent years due to its cost-effectiveness, scalability, and flexibility. It offers four different deployment models, including public, private, hybrid, and community cloud computing. In this research paper, the aim is to compare these deployment models in terms of purchasing and supply management. A quantitative study is conducted to evaluate the benefits and challenges associated with each deployment model. Additionally, four different industries were analyzed in order to be understood how cloud computing can be leveraged for purchasing and supply management.
