Checklist: Evaluating a New Cloud Service Print

  • 0

Before adopting.

THE PROBLEM

What problem does this solve? What do we do now instead?

THE FIT

Does it do what we need, tested with our own data? Does it work acceptably on our connection? Have the people who will use it tried it?

THE COST

What does it cost at our scale, annually, in our currency? What drives the cost upward? Are there spending controls?

THE DATA

What data goes into it? Where is it stored? Can we export everything, in a usable format? What happens to it if we leave?

THE SECURITY

Individual accounts and a second authentication step? What do they secure, and what remains ours? What is their breach notification process?

THE COMMITMENT

What term, and what notice? What is their outage history?

THE OWNERSHIP

Registered to the business, on a business address, with two administrators?

THE DECISION

Recorded, with the reasoning.
