From a developer’s perspective
Approach : VM vs mutli tenancy Security Performance over time / growth Services (to consumers) Allow for flexibility for each user Change mgt – core application Data in – Data out (ETL, new old) Application Integration Pricing Strategy Governance – where is data stored ? Keeping up with new technologies ? Architecture / scalability Client technologies (ie, browser vs RC)
From a consumer’s perspective
Why go into the cloud ? TCO ? Features / functionality / fit Cost of exit plan / is there one ? DRP ? Integration of current apps Data in – Data out (ETL) Performance / growth plan ? Is my data secure ? Is the service reliable ? Learning curve / education Risks / benefits analysis ?
