What are typical causes for resistance in the cloud context?

Resistance in SAP cloud projects often stems from perceived risks. Option A is correct—data privacy/security concerns are common due to cloud hosting. Option B is correct; users resist if standard processes seem inadequate compared to legacy systems. Option C is correct as cloud solutions reduce local control, sparking resistance. Option D is incorrect—cloud typically lowers maintenance costs, not increases them. Option E is incorrect; works council doubts are situational, not a typical cause. SAP OCM identifies these as key resistance drivers to address.

“Resistance often arises from concerns over data security, process fit, and loss of control in cloud transitions” (SAP OCM Framework, Resistance Management).
