Astadia Launches ROI Calculator for Cloud Computing
Astadia, a pure-play Cloud computing integrator and top Salesforce.com partner, today announced the launch of the I.T. Cloud Transformation (ITX) ROI Calculator which is a free online service. A 2010 report on I.T. spending priorities by Kaufman Bros. shows a strong trend of I.T. infrastructure consolidating or rationalizing software applications, servers, data centers and back-office functions to cheaper web-based software applications. Manylack time or resources to build the business case to move specific technologies to the chosen platform. The ITX ROI Calculator gives a fast estimate of which pieces of an I.T. infrastructure and application portfolio will cost less and perform better when moved to the Cloud, specifically to the Force.com platform.
“This new tool shows how much money I.T. departments could be leaving on the table,” says Cory Vander Jagt, VP, Astadia ITX.
Astadia’s 4 step ITX process for doing this is described in more detail at http://www.astadia.com/itx.
