Quantitative data such as end user’s feedback on the IT applications contribute to the technical impact on efficiency and productivity. Qualitative data such as business domain, business services and IT application cost drivers are used to determine the business value of the IT applications in an organization.
Findings: The assessment of IT applications leads to decisions on suitability of each IT application that can be migrated to cloud environment.
