Systematization of different approaches to transition from on-premise system to the cloud can facilitate the selection of a strategy by the management if the organization decides to make a migration step. Migration to the cloud is generally profitable for organizations, but in order to justify the decision it is necessary to make preliminary calculations of some financial indicators.
