Abstract: Cloud computing has become a significant technology in businesses nowadays. This study investigated the mediating role of strategic alignment in the relationship between cloud computing adoption and organisational agility. Adopting a quantitative approach using the partial least squares method, data from 75 valid questionnaires was analysed. The findings support the idea that adopting cloud computing significantly enhances organisational agility, and that strategic alignment is an important driver and mediator in this relationship. The results revealed that cloud computing adoption and strategic alignment accounted for 56.2% of the variance in organisational agility. Therefore, organisations should invest in cloud technologies to increase their flexibility, scalability, and responsiveness. This can be accomplished by aligning IT capabilities with business strategies and utilising cloud-based analytics to drive business decisions. The study's findings provide meaningful insights for organisations in the telecommunications sector in Jordan to navigate the digital age and remain competitive.
