Building an initial business case for migrating workloads to AWS

How an optimization and licensing assessment removes roadblocks and establishes a total cost of ownership comparison for a move to AWS

Smart companies are investing and modernizing to take advantage of the increased flexibility, speed, and cost savings of moving workloads to the cloud. Even in a period of economic uncertainty, or perhaps because of it, companies are trying to understand the total cost of ownership (TCO) of everything, including a move to the cloud.

In this whitepaper, we look at building an initial business case, the first step to evaluating a move from an on-premises data center to Amazon Web Services (AWS), and the role of an Optimization and Licensing Assessment (OLA) in that process.
