Modernizing Enterprise Systems via .Net Core and Cloud Computing: A Review and Research Agenda

Dheerendra Yaganti

Abstract: Cloud computing has emerged as a transformative force in digital innovation, particularly in business environments increasingly dependent on agile, scalable solutions [6][7]. This paper presents an updated systematic review focused on cloud computing from a business perspective, specifically emphasizing the role and integration of .NET Core technologies [1][4]. While earlier reviews focused on general adoption and security concerns [10], this paper provides a comprehensive framework for understanding .NET Core's contribution to cloud strategies. The study synthesizes literature from 2014 to 2019 and adds analysis through 2024 to reflect recent technological advancements [2][5]. A future research agenda is proposed for integrating .NET Core in strategic business systems such as ERP, CRM, and supply chain platforms via cloud infrastructure, showing the symbiotic evolution of cloud services and .NET Core-driven architectures [9][13].
