ROA vs. ROI


roi / roa / MC

•Return on Investment - Return on investment (ROI) is the concept of an investment of some resource yielding a benefit to the investor.

•Return On Agility - Operational advantages that can be easily measured such as ...

• Setting up infrastructure in minutes rather than months• Completing massive computational projects with a large number of resources quickly• Scaling architecture up and down to provide the needed IT resources only when you need them,• Deliver targeted IT solutions fast for individual business units

•Marginal Cost - The change in the total cost that arises when the quantity produced changes by one unit - or the cost of producing one more unit of a good

Cost Considerations

Infrastructure

•How many customers can we serve today?

•How easy would it be to scale?

•Focus on innovation; allow cloud providers run infrastructure

•Does in-house make sense?

57


Cost Considerations

58

Developers

•Developer time translates to $$$

•Apply where it matters

•Be realistic about engineering time to do it yourself

•Choose tools that scale


The Agility Conversation

•Degree of Change Over Time

•Number of times over a period of time a business reinvents itself

•Ability to Adapt to Change

•Relative Value of Change

•Amount of revenue made as a direct result of changing the business

hybrid cloud

The cloud infrastructure is a composition of two or more distinct cloud infrastructures (private, community, or public) that remain unique entities, but are bound together by standardized or proprietary technology that enables data and application portability (e.g., cloud bursting for load balancing between clouds).

• Solutions that combine one or more public clouds with one or more private clouds.

• Has potential to introduce complexity -- but is it worth it?• Is API abstraction healthy?
