Convergence essentially can be defined as at least two discernible entities moving toward union and is prominent in the ICT sector where combinations of different products and services have resulted in many meaningful innovations. Since convergence is triggered by knowledge convergence, we explore this phenomenon between cloud computing and big data by employing keyword co-occurrence analysis on scientific publications. Following that, this paper explores the case of Malaysia as cloud computing service sector has emerged and there is focus on adoption of big data. Subsequently, new opportunities for cloud service providers in Malaysia are derived from the result of knowledge convergence.
