Operational cost savings of 50% possible:► typically requires 3 years for enterprises to modify

existing processes, i.e.

► image management

► pre-approved changes propagated

A managed platform accelerates changes to

weeks/months by adopting industry best practices

Operational cost savings of 50-75% possible:► self service enablement

– finance preapproval?

– culture impact to workers

► pay as you go requires disciplined de-provisioning process

► automate policy for which workload can leverage cloud

► compliance/backup/DR
