Are you considering cloud for some or all of your key applications or infrastructure? Are you considering managed cloud services? Well, seldom have tech managers had it so easy in building a compelling value proposition as they do with cloud technologies. If anything, expectations for cloud's impact on costs have expanded beyond reason, with many thinking cloud is always cheaper, faster, and easier.
That's not the whole story. You need to compare cloud's benefits against realistic cost expectations — both hard and soft costs. Cloud can indeed yield significant cost savings, but ascribing value to speed and agility is critical to the cloud business case. And identifying the right applications and workloads for cloud can make all the difference.
In this Webinar, we describe in detail how to make your business case for cloud. We tell you how to identify which apps in your portfolio are a good fit for the three major cloud deployment options: public cloud platforms, software-as-a-service (SaaS), and managed cloud services. Then we describe the most important elements to include in your business case for each of these cloud options. Don't rush into the cloud blind: Start with a solid business case.
