Analysis of conditions favouring movement to cloud for medium to large enterprises including checks for migration of existing application(s) from on-premise setup to cloud.
3. Cloud solutions need to be objectively evaluated for the real
business benefits for organisation as a whole and NOT in silos

and software) that are delivered as a service over a network

9. The cloud derives its benefits from the scale of operations by
aggregating supply side and the demand side of IT. This is
through elastic consumption and provisioning for IT resources

capacity, but also by the degree to which the capacity is
efficiently utilized

12. Sluggish IT adoption in Non-IT organisations is caused primarily
by weak process and employee IT-capability
Personnel Organisational IT systems are dependent on external vendors, and internal IT
capability is low
Low competence to handle complex technology related tasks in-house.
Process Complex Workflow - Heavily customised applications
Different applications (pieces) are developed and maintained by separate vendors
Process automation/Integration between departments is difficult
Software Low Reconfigurability and Non-Modular system architecture.
Applications are not designed for Multi-Tenancy
Problems
13. Cloud is not panacea for IT. Organisation capability is an
important factor for cloud migration
