Abstract: The new Internet technologies have opened the way for a new economy, the digital economy, where accessing and using the Internet are the key to a successful business. For that, it is necessary a wide process of business digital transformation which requires a high-power IT infrastructure. There are a number of emerging technologies that can be a solution for the digital transition of any business. So, nowadays, thenewtrend is that the companies to abandon building or developing their own IT infrastructure, and choose, as a much cheaper alternative, to migrate their key applications and databases in the cloud, using for that the Cloud Computing services through the Internet. But, the process of businesss digital transformation is not uniform. The aspiration and practical implementation are not in the same rhythm, being a significant gap between them. There are many situations when the migration to the cloud had not registered the expected success because there is no a generally valid practical way for it or for redesigning the business for the digital economy. Even so, most of the enterprises are embarked on a digital transformation, and a fundamental stage of this change involves migrating key enterprises applications and databases to the cloud. However, according to the Eurostat data, there are major gaps between the EU Member States in using cloud technology for hosting enterprises databases, more thana half of them have percentages lower than the European average, even if the European Commission has adopted the Digital Single Market strategy in May 2015 with the aim of „encouragesthe economy, businesses and the workforce tomaximize the benefits of digitalization”. Based on a large literature on the topic, the aim of this paper is to motivate the necessity of cloud migrating the organization databases and data, highlighting the opportunities and advantages gained.
