Building a Business Case for Cloud Migration That Boards Approve

Cloud migration is no longer just a technical question but also a financial decision. Boards demand clarity on cost, risk, and return before approving large-scale moves. Many migration plans stall not because the business case isn’t convincing enough—it’s because it lacks verifiable financial evidence.

Why Boards Need Hard Evidence

Without a quantified case:

  • Unclear ROI makes cloud investments hard to justify.
  • Risk concerns stall decisions when the migration impact isn’t clear.
  • Competing priorities push projects to the bottom of the agenda.

The AWS OLA builds migration cases on verified data, not estimates, strengthening credibility in the boardroom.

How OLA Builds the Case

  • Detailed workload analysis clarifies costs, utilisation, and licensing.
  • Savings projections quantify reductions in SQL, Oracle, and Windows licensing.
  • Migration roadmaps set clear timelines and options for modernisation.
  • Board-ready reports translate technical findings into financial language.

What a Data-Backed Case Delivers

  • Confidence in ROI backed by measured savings.
  • Reduced risk perception through structured planning.
  • Faster approvals from boards presented with clear numbers.

A business case that speaks finance wins support faster. OLA provides the evidence.
