Whether you are considering a full-scale move to the cloud, testing a hybrid solution or simply using the cloud for stand-alone departments and/or projects, it is imperative to communicate the justification for the move. We will explore the financial intricacies of cloud spending and the strategic considerations for successful GIS cloud migration. We will also bridge the gap between understanding cloud expenditure and successfully justifying a GIS cloud migration.

Why the Cloud?
Benefits of the cloud include scalability - quickly responding to peak demands and lower capacity when necessary; modernization - ensuring your GIS is ready for the future and any software release; collaboration - team accessibility from anywhere in the world at any time; reliability - reducing downtimes and lowering data loss risk; and resourcing optimization - reducing your costs and freeing up staff to focus on other important tasks.
Scale
Quickly respond to peak demands and lower capacity when necessary. Be ready to scale as needed, when you need it.
Modernize
You no longer have to worry about software upgrades. Ensure your GIS is future ready.
Optimize
Reduce downtimes and lower data loss risk. Free up staff to focus on other important tasks.

Need management buy-in? Demonstrate Value with ROI Calculations
If your organization is operating on a more traditional on-premise model, then it’s probably time to shake things up in a big way. As with any IT project, if you’re planning a move to the Cloud you’ll need to prepare a tight business case to secure the support, resource, and budget from key stakeholders. Cloud-based GIS is the new standard, and most organizations today have either already moved their GIS to the Cloud or are in the process of migrating because of the features, computing power, and scalability it offers. It all comes down to measurable results.
When starting out on your migration journey it's important to carefully consider potential costs, risks and what your migration strategy will be, yet still make the case for your Cloud migration. We can help you prepare for a C-suite presentation outlining the benefits of migrating your business to the Cloud, such as increased efficiency, scalability and measurable cost savings.
Learn how to craft your business case and discover:
- How to calculate your current on-premise cost, including the cost of hardware, server space, server age, cost of employees to manage the hardware, etc.
- How to quantify the lost opportunity costs, like speed, productivity and scale.
- How to calculate ROI so it is easier to foresee the results of the investment.
- How to properly assess where you are organizationally to better define the scope and level of effort involved in a GIS cloud migration.
