Financial Assessment (TCO/ROI Analysis)

How much will it cost to run?
Security & Compliance Assessment

Technical Assessment
Choosing the right candidate
Migrating Licensed products
Identifying tools you can reuse
Functional/Architectural assessment
Create a Roadmap and a Plan
Data Security
You own the data, not AWS.
You choose which geographic location to store the data.

You can download or delete your data whenever you like.
You can encrypt your data in transit and at rest.

List all your IT assets and create a
dependency tree
Dash
board
Identify upward and downward dependencies

CRM
Web
Start classifying your IT assets into different

categories:
Auth
LDAP
Service
DB

OLAP
Engine
Applications with low, medium and high coupling

Applications with strict vs. relaxed licensing
ERP
Report
logs
Stack rank your IT assets

Select the low-hanging fruits first
Search for under-utilized IT assets
Applications that has immediate
business need to scale
Applications that are running out of
capacity Easiest to move today
That Builds support within your

organization and creates awareness
and excitement
No-brainer to move Apps

Dev/Test applications
Self-contained Web
Applications
Backup Systems
Batch processing applications
Customer Training Sites
Video Portals (Transcoding and

(CloudFormation, Chef, Puppet, ..)
Development and Integration Tools

(SDKs, Libraries, Command Line Tools, AWS Resource Center)
Migrating Licensed Products

Bring Your Own License (BYOL)
(Oracle, Adobe, IBM, Micosoft.)

Pay-As-You-Go
Use a utility style pricing model with a support package
(Redhat, Microsoft, IBM, Wowza, .)

Use an ISV Cloud Service
(Quantivo, Pervasive, Cast Iron, ...)
