Abstract

Many IT-based organisations have shown an interest in moving their business operation into a cloud-enabled system as they noticed that cloud-oriented gives better revenue and return. In order to migrate, there are many operational features that need to be assessed. For the cloud migration process, the assessment of the organisation is important to ensure the business revenue and returns remain positive. However, due to the fact that numerous business data needs to be collected and analysed, some organisations do not take that action seriously. Failing to carefully measure such data/information for cloud migration will have effect on the return on investment (RoI) outcome. In this work, we present a practical model called as SAROIC for estimating the suitability and the return on investment of cloud computing migrations from the cloud user perspective. This model aims to overcome such limitations by providing a step-by-step process for estimating a comprehensive ROI of cloud migration. This will further help the cloud user in decision making.
