14. Why Should You Care?
IT has been under financial scrutiny for the last decade. According to
analyst surveys, majority of business users are unhappy with IT costs, the
length of time it takes to get anything done, etc and demand better value.
Since the recession, there were significant cutbacks in IT budget. IT is
expected to do the same (or more) with existing financial resources.

18. Impact of Cloud Computing on IT
Portfolio Management
Domain Impact of Cloud Computing
Financial • Subscription billing – This alone will provide a significant improvement into financial visibility and transparency to the
Management enterprise . (N.B. Many offer up-to-the-minute usage information.)
p ( y p g )
• Financial evaluation – It is much easier to evaluate the costs (i.e. TCO) of a Cloud based solution than an enterprise solution,
as majority of the variables associated with indirect costs (which are often difficult to fully capture & calculate) no longer exist
• Financial reporting – CC drives down the costs & efforts of capturing financial metrics
• IT budget planning – CC should simplify IT budget planning in most enterprises – There are some considerations that
management needs to pay attention here.
• IT charge back – CC can reduce the efforts in charge backs, but the benefit varies from enterprise to enterprise due to the
charge-back charge-backs
unique requirements
Project Portfolio • Project Funding – It is much faster to start a Cloud-based project, because the costs can be determined quickly and the costs
Management are substantially lower than the traditional methods
• Project Initiation :
• Wi h CC access to compute resources i i
With CC, is instantaneous and very cost effective
d ff i
• For IaaS & PaaS, majority of the software is already pre-loaded. For SaaS, the solution is already out there, but it may
need customization / integration. So, in general, ramp-up is much faster than the traditional model.
• Project Tracking/Reporting – CC providers, by virtue of their business model, the provide many up-to-the-minute reports
available, so it makes it easier for PMs to manage the projects.
Service Portfolio • P tf li Analysis & Tracking – CC billing makes it easy to track deployed services, understand who’s using them, how

Management often they are used, and calculate the average costs. Also, CC providers offer operational metrics which helps measure SLAs for
internal users. These are all huge benefits that remove operational issue at many organizations
Application Portfolio • The same benefits from Service Portfolio Management apply here.
Management
Asset Management • The same benefits from Service Portfolio Management apply here.
• In addition, CC removes the hassles associated with asset audit, renewal, configuration, distribution, etc….
Vendor/Contract • Vendor management / Contract negotiations are substantially facilitated in Cloud Computing.
