This model is built to help small- and medium-sized business (<500 employees) owners understand the key factors that drive cost differences between cloud computing services and on-premise IT.

A number of input parameters are available and allow the user to adjust and tailor the model to their business, such as the number of employees using computers, the costs associated with switching to the cloud, and a firm's data storage requirements. In addition, there are a number of cloud computing scenarios that a business may select. These include: "Email," "Office Productivity Software," "Accounting & Finance Software," "CRM Software," and "File & Print."

Cost results immediately update to reflect any changes and are organized into the following five categories: hardware, software, training, administration and support, switching costs.

New users should focus on the "Summary," "Description of Model Tabs," "Scenario," and "Sensitivites" tabs when first using the model. The other tabs in the model provide the underlying cost data as well as all calculations.

Please save a copy of the model in order to edit.

The model was produced through a collaboration between Google, Dr. Andrew McAfee, and Analysis Group, Inc.
