Abstract	The use of Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) to improve how goods are produced and services are delivered and consumed is a feature of everyday life in the developed countries. ICT, if deployed appropriately, has the potential to vastly boost productivity. Cloud computing is being viewed as a potential area by businesses and government agencies in Africa to improve efficiency and effectiveness of business operations in government and business enterprises. Uganda is predominantly an Agricultural society that needs infrastructure to boost productivity, access to markets and management of the business processes. The potential and impact of cloud computing therefore is undoubtedly quantifiable especially for Ugandan small and medium scale enterprises that run on relatively low budget. Through literature review and interaction with business entities in both public and private sector, this paper therefore supports, encourages and recommends the application of cloud computing to facilitate especially in government and SMSEs like agricultural cooperatives increased productivity and effective service delivery.
