I’m working on a business question and need guidance to help me learn.
You have founded an emerging successful e-commerce platform (toysforkids.com) that sells unique artisan toys and child-related products. Your current on-premise environment needs to grow to get you to your next level of expansion. The project has been internally sold by the CIO as a cost-saving initiative, along with the elasticity Cloud computing provides for the company. You have sent out a Request for Proposal (RFP) to Cloud Services providers, and you have narrowed your choices to Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft (MSFT) Azure. Your current environment is Microsoft-centric (Windows 10, Windows Servers, MS-SQL-Server, and other MSFT products). Proposal responses are back. AWS appears to be the most cost-beneficial.
Please respond to the following:
- What are some of the concerns you might have working with AWS? How might those concerns be allayed?
- MSFT appears to be more expensive (by about 5-10%), even though toysforkids.com is MSFT-centric. Do the advantages of working with MSFT overcome their cost disadvantage?
- Are there any other choices you might consider?
The link below provides some context for your response.
