Total cost of ownership (TCO) is an important consideration for many organisations when deciding on cloud services. Comparative analysis of TCO can help organizations decide whether to move forward with a cloud project - Private, Hosted Private or Public, or further expand their current in-house, on-premise IT infrastructure. A careful TCO analysis can also help organizations to justify their proposed cloud project to secure funding, and resources.

Today organizations of all sizes are facing challenges unlike any they've experienced before. Globalization is changing the business landscape, increasing the pressure to expedite time to market with new products and services, while keeping costs down. In addition, constant technology change has resulted in ad-hoc infrastructure build-out, creating a complexity nightmare that prevents IT organizations from functioning as service providers to the business. Public or Private Cloud technology solves this issue and enables IT to be delivered as a service, on demand, and with elastic scale at a cost effective price point. But how do you accelerate your journey to the cloud?

The cloud is everywhere, and with it SaaS has become an accepted means for software delivery. But even more that a technology, SaaS is thriving business model estimated to be worth around $53 billion dollars by 2015, according to IDC, but the question is as how do you build and scale a profitable SaaS business model?
