Education service web-based is the topic related to virtualize learning transaction by mean of electronic communication instrument, specially the internet technology. This study reviewed the current state of cloud computing technology structure in education from specialized literature. Synthesizing from the literature, this paper proposed a conceptual framework of key driver of cloud computing implementation. Three dimensions of cloud technology in education management service: Technological, Organizational and Environmental factor will be discussed in which it’s can be applied as a guideline to accelerate the implementation of the technology in Malaysia education industry.
