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…)
