Cloud computing facilitates the online provisioning of IT resources, and banks are progressively adopting it to enhance operational efficiency. Despite its usefulness, combining cloud services is not without its difficulties. This study examines the pros and cons of using cloud services in banking, focusing on data security, infrastructure stability, and ongoing business functions. For the purpose of this study, we interviewed a number of leaders in the field, such as officials from a major cloud provider and an Omani bank. The importance of addressing environmental considerations, personnel training, data privacy, security, and system integration was highlighted through key insights. It was concluded that, in order to make a smooth shift to the cloud, financial institution employees must have a thorough understanding of its features. The findings of this research add to the ongoing discussion about banking’s embrace of the cloud and provide useful pointers for working with the cloud.

Most businesses recognize that education and advancement opportunities are essential components of human resource development. Transfer of training is considered to be a significant problem in the process of transferring knowledge, skills, and attitudes from training to a job, even though training and development strive to alter the knowledge, skills, and attitudes of a trainee to bring about a positive change in the behavior of the trainee as a result. Comparatively, little attention has been paid to the vital demand factors for professional business courses (such as Computing, Accounting, Human Resources, and Marketing) and whether there are distinct segments in this marketplace. In this paper, the key variables in determining the demand for professional business courses were assessed through interviews with senior managers of professional bodies and the application of an electronic scale. Furthermore, based on the marketing theory of segmentation analysis, the key segments were tested using both summary statistics and chi-square tests. Finally, managerial and research implications of these results were discussed.
