1. The document discusses how to build a business case for migrating enterprise functions and services to the cloud. It notes that cloud computing market is growing substantially as businesses seek cost savings, flexibility and other benefits. 2. It outlines a 4-step process to formulate a cloud strategy: 1) assess which IT resources could move to cloud, 2) determine which are mission-critical vs good cloud candidates, 3) compare costs of cloud vs on-premise for candidates, 4) create a report justifying recommended cloud migrations based on factors. 3. Building the economic case is also key, as cloud can allow matching IT services to demand, leveraging lower cloud costs, controlling costs, and aligning
Business cases for the need of cloud computing
- 1. How to evaluate, quantify, and promote your enterprise cloud strategy Business cases for the need of Cloud computing environment 1 Dr. Neeraj Kumar Pandey
- 2. Making the Business Case for Cloud Businesses across all verticals are increasingly migrating to the cloud to take advantage of greater functionality, cost savings and flexibility, among other factors. In fact, Gartner projects the global cloud computing market could reach $180 billion by 2015, a substantial 37 percent increase from $131 billion in 2013. But companies can’t simply decide on a whim to migrate to the cloud and expect to get the most out of that decision. Rather, they need to forge comprehensive cloud migration strategies, detailing exactly which functions will be best suited for the cloud; what they plan to accomplish with the technology; and what kinds of cost savings they2 Dr. Neeraj Kumar Pandey
- 3. Formulating Cloud Strategy Identifying candidate cloud services and building the business case entails the following 4 steps: 1. Assess the IT resources and services that could conceivably be migrated. Figure out what trends you are seeing in terms of the use of those resources and services. 2. Distill that list of resources and services. It’s likely there are some mission-critical resources and services you’d like to keep on-premises no matter what. Other applications might have a lot of dependencies that would require major effort to transition to the cloud. 3. Compare the logistics and finances of what it would look like if certain functions were shifted to the cloud versus kept on- premises. You might find that some services are a natural fit for a cloud-based delivery model while others are not. 4. Formulate your complete business case for migration. You’ll be able to produce a report that leaves no stones left unturned and present reasons, supported by fact, as to why certain functions and services should be moved to the cloud. 3 Dr. Neeraj Kumar Pandey

- 5. Considering the Economic Issues Moving forward with a cloud deployment without understanding the financial impact is a recipe for failure. Driving the Economic Value Matching IT services to demand Leveraging lower-cost services Controlling costs and imposing fiscal responsibility Continually optimizing for the lowest cost Align IT to lines of business 5 Dr. Neeraj Kumar Pandey
