Step 1: Plan Capacity
Capacity planning is a vital component of cloud computing adoption that
involves understanding necessary resource requirements in order to meet
the anticipated needs of customers and users.
Companies who are able to predict their
computing needs can reserve capacity and
plan for their predicted usage based on their
IT budgets. Other models allow organizations
to utilize an on-demand, pay-per-use model
which may be more economical.
Regardless, capacity planning should be a high
priority for CIOs and IT managers to cost
effectively meet IT resource and financial
goals.

Step 2: Compare Providers
Once a cloudWiz user has filled out their current resource utilization and
projected demand, they can then compare providers, side-by-side.
Our inbuilt standardized provider catalog
allows cloud users to compare prices from
multiple providers in an expedia-like interface
and then optimize for the best provider based
on individual goals and constraints such as
cost, QoS and best match.

Step 3: Generate Roadmap & Analyze ROI
Based on an assessment of the current application, users can generate a
custom roadmap for cloud migration as well as the cashflow required and
thus perform ROI analysis.
Our cloud migration engine uses PERT and
CPM to identify the critical path to cloud
migration. As a result, users can estimate
the net present value (NPV) of this effort
to determine the economic benefit of going
cloud.
