Although there are many advantages of cloud ERP systems, the vast majority of enterprises still choose the traditional method of local deployment. This paper aims to develop an adoption model for cloud ERP systems. The influencing factors can be categorized into four groups: motivation to migrate, transaction attributes, enterprise characteristics, and external factors. An empirical study was conducted through a questionnaire survey targeting the CIOs of Chinese enterprises. The findings of this study indicate that the primary factors influencing the intention to adopt cloud migration for enterprise ERP systems include cost reduction, business process optimization, security concerns, strategic factors, business risks, the performance of the former IT department, and imitation pressure. Our results provide significant theoretical implications for research on migrating ERP systems to the cloud and can also offer practical guidance to enterprises and ERP suppliers.
