Cloud Economics Assessment

Manage Your Clod Economics & Software Assets
Version 1’s Cloud Economics Assessment is a rapid comparative monetary analysis between existing on-premise workloads and Azure including readiness levels and migration pathways.

- Failure to identify right sizing opportunities
- Poorly optimised procurement
- Understanding the operational and financial impact of a migration
- How to build a business case for Azure
