HOW WE DO IT
Cost AnalysisWhat‘s your current cost
to operate an application?
What makes an application so
expensive?
Is it an IaaS or SaaS candidate?
Business
SupportWhat are the supported
business processes?
Which regions / Búsiness Units are the
applications used in?
Will the business become more agile?
Compli-ance
What business data is stored within the
application?
Does it have interfaces to other applications?
Can the data be stored outside of this country?
Technical Fit
What technologies are used?
Does it rely on custom / non-standard technologies?
Are there IaaS/PaaS solutions from Public
Cloud providers?
What are the growing factors (Disk space,
CPU…)
