Cloud Migration Assessments
Many companies, both large and small, are attempting to determine what assets can be moved out of their data centers (or closets) and into "the cloud." It is often during this process of defining what applications can be replaced by SaaS or ported to a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) that the opportunity to further expose the piece of IP or expertise to the market as a commercial SaaS application comes to light. When it does, Sixteen Ventures can help you move forward in the commercialization process of your SaaS applications.
The process of determining what applications, data, and processes a company can move to the cloud is called a Cloud Migration Assessment. The process involves identifying mission critical, infrastructure, line of business, and departmental/situational applications, the associated data and geographic disparity of the users, and many other factors. From there, after discussing budgets, OPEX vs. CAPEX issues, compliance and regulatory issues, and existing and committed infrastructure investments, a determination can be made on what a company can and cannot move to "the cloud."
SaaS Vendor Validation
One of the options for migrating to the cloud is replacing internally deployed software with Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications where there is feature-compatible analog. During the process of identifying what SaaS vendors are present in the market, and after determining which vendors offer products that meet the same needs as internally deployed software, often the vendors must be vetted for viability, sustainability, and business continuity.
Due to our deep exposure to the SaaS market, Sixteen Ventures is in a unique position to provide SaaS Vendor Validation services to companies seeking to migrate to SaaS from internally deployed software.
