“…Examples of empirical analysis are [20], who present a methodology for the cost optimization of IaaS application, and [21], who present a cloud computing brokerage model to identify the most cost-efficient tariff for IaaS services. Examples of nonempirical analysis are [22], who present a general mathematical model for ROI estimation, and [23], who propose a taxonomy of the costs associated with application migration to the cloud.

The importance of demonstrating the value achieved from IT investments is long established in the Computer Science (CS) and Information Systems (IS) literature. However, emerging technologies such as the ever-changing complex area of cloud computing present new challenges and opportunities for demonstrating how IT investments lead to business value. This paper conducts a multidisciplinary systematic literature review drawing from CS, IS, and Business disciplines to understand the current evidence on the quantification of financial value from cloud computing investments. The study identified 53 articles, which were coded in an analytical framework across six themes (measurement type, costs, benefits, adoption type, actor and service model). Future research directions were presented for each theme. The review highlights the need for multidisciplinary research which both explores and further develops the conceptualization of value in cloud computing research, and research which investigates how IT value manifests itself across the chain of service provision and in inter-organizational scenarios.

“…It averts the need for underutilized IT infrastructure in anticipation of peak demands as with very short notice, services can be scaled up. Thus, lead to reduced cost of purchasing infrastructure, upgrades, and maintenance as well as energy savings [38] [22]. These promised benefits have stirred large organizations' interest in beginning to consider cloud computing options.…”

“…Furthermore, many organizations' drive for change at the moment is predominantly viewed from the cost perspective as they continue to discover how underutilized their substantial capital investment into IT is on the increase. It has been noted as well that close to half the capital equipment budget goes into IT but the capacity utilization of servers is only 6% on the average [39] [38]. Therefore, the proposed cost modelling system is a tool that will provides cost benefit analysis of migrating whole or part of the organization's IT systems to the cloud and help decision makers in making more informed decisions regarding IT infrastructure procurements and maintenance and in verifying the claims of cloud service providers.…”

Abstract-An advance in technology unlocks new opportunities for organizations to increase their productivity, efficiency and process automation while reducing the cost of doing business as well. The emergence of cloud computing addresses these prospects through the provision of agile systems that are scalable, flexible and reliable as well as cost effective. Cloud computing has made hosting and deployment of computing resources cheaper and easier with no up-front charges but pay per-use flexible payment methods. However, there is lack of tools to aid decision makers in evaluating the much promised benefits of cloud computing particularly its cost benefit. To fill this gap in tools for evaluating the cost benefit of cloud services as an alternative to on premise computing, a cost modelling system for cloud computing (CCMS) is proposed. A prototype model was developed to simulate the cost incurred on maintaining an on premise IT infrastructure under various usage patterns with the purpose of determining the cost benefit of cloud alternatives. CCMS assists decision makers with insights on cost savings of adopting cloud alternatives and also demonstrate how the utilization capacity and cost of acquisition of an infrastructure can influence the cost savings from cloud alternatives.
