A business organization often measures the value of
investments or any move that requires money in terms of the return on
investment (ROI).
But often, the ROI is not simply measured through the savings in terms of monetary value. The best measurement of the ROI of cloud computing is simply in its VALUE. ROI doesn’t always look very enticing especially when cloud computing is concerned. That is why administrators and CIOs should be looking at the apparent values that come in many forms when employing cloud computing. What they should be asking is “What do I expect to get if I use this service?” and similar value related questions, not monetary related ones. You can set up metrics to determine the apparent value that cloud computing services are able to provide.
It is true that ROI is important, but the monetary side
should not be the only basis for ROI. The value add offered by cloud services
should also be highly considered when contemplating the use of cloud computing,
even if it is sometimes intangible.
