• Each group had x weeks of Discovery ( Data Collection )
• Followed by x weeks of Analysis
For each application following analysis was done
• Cloud Fitment Analysis
• Cloud Migration Viability
Total XX applications were found to be Cloud fit
Distribution of the cloud fit applications based upon application category

14. IT Current State Total Cost of Ownership
14
List Current state IT spend eg: End User Services, and followed by Project Delivery, Solution Delivery
and Technology Services
Current State TCO
• Current State TCO has been arrived at by mapping xx applications identified to be Cloud-fit to relevant cost
solutions
• Additionally, assumed hardware / network refresh , storage, maintenance and re-platform costs for 3 years in
case of on-premise solution
• Actual depreciation of assets in solutions for next 5 years has been included in calculation. This includes what
was supposed to be purchased in 2018 as investments, and does not take into account any investments done in
years 2019 thru 2023
• Assumed a constant figure for all year-on-year Personnel costs except for Operations Personnel cost, where we
have assumed a decrease of 25% in first year after migration to Cloud and constant number there afterwards
• For applications having TCO at a solution level, we apportioned TCO across all applications for that solution based
on their server count

15. Resourcing and Costing
15
The project resource schedule is important because it serves as your time baseline, which is used for measuring
time differences between plan and actual.
• Provide the list of resources that are required for cloud migration project inclusive of project managers.
• Provide the costs for resources based on pay rates, per-use fees, fixed costs, or totals for cost resources (such
as airfare or dining) that are assigned to tasks.
• Report and allocate cloud costs using the most accurate, precise data

16. Milestones

Target milestones when migrating from an on premises implementation to Cloud service
Target production environment milestones

17. Completion Criteria and Success Metrics
17
As part of your implementation plan, you must identify which specific tasks and processes must be completed
Define project success metrics
Map project deliverables to benefits statements
• Client satisfaction
• Quality of delivery
• User adoption
• Value realization

18. Assumptions and Dependencies

28. Target State Cost Estimate: Summary
28
Target State Cloud TCO
• For pricing purpose, we have considered only XXXXX as the Cloud Provider. Cloud hosting cost was calculated at a solution level
using CSP Pricing Calculator for XXXXX servers. Costing is done based on Region
• We have included the following costs in Target State Cloud TCO at a solution level:
• Infrastructure Cloud Hosting (IaaS), Infrastructure Cloud Support, Implementation Cost (Effort), Storage and Backup,
Network, Data Migration and Authentication Costs
• Additionally, Residual Costs such as Depreciation Costs from existing assets and Personnel Costs have also been considered as One
Time Annual Costs in overall Target State TCO
• Database license and Software cost are considered to be provided
• Disaster Recovery (DR) Solution Cost to be provided
