Abstract
In 2010, a framework aiming to address strategic investment decisions on IT infrastructure was developed. It was based in Benefits Management principles and Enterprise Architecture concepts, being inspired by the emerging public cloud technological trend. Meanwhile, the public cloud concept did not materialise at the expected pace and other alternatives have emerged in the market, in particular the private cloud-based solutions. This fact required the framework to be updated to cope with the business and technological requirements of the private cloud concept. A new version of the framework has been developed and was used to help managers to address IT investment decisions on private cloud in an international bank.
