Conducting a Fit and Readiness Assessment for Public Cloud IT

Saugatuck Technology, June 2011, Pages: 5

Saugatuck’s experiences with IT users and executives continue to emphasize the fact that not every IT workload is suitable for Cloud IT. When IT operations, business processes, and applications are assessed against defined business objectives, the economics and risk of Cloud use and management can be much more prohibitive than widely believed. Every significant workload, every significant application or operation, needs to be evaluated regarding its fit and readiness for Cloud deployment and use. This Strategic Perspective builds on prior research to propose a number of process filters that can be used within a Fit and Readiness Assessment for using Public Cloud IT.
