Cloud Service Selection Criteria

10 field-tested practices for applying Cloud Service Selection Criteria — from TCO modeling to exit strategy — in a ready-to-use PowerPoint.

About These Best Practices

A focused set of 10 actionable best practices for Cloud Service Selection Criteria — the practices that catch vendor lock-in, data residency gaps, and exit-cost surprises before a contract is signed, not after migration is underway. Built for teams evaluating providers on more than sticker price.

What's Inside

  • 10 Best Practices — covering total-cost-of-ownership modeling, portability and exit strategy, SLA and compliance evaluation, and the weighted criteria that keep selection objective
  • Introduction — why "the provider everyone already knows" is a risky default, and what a defensible evaluation actually requires
  • PowerPoint Format — Clean slides ready for team presentations, workshops, or leadership briefings

How Teams Use It

  • Sourcing and architecture teams use it to build a weighted scorecard instead of defaulting to a familiar vendor
  • Use as a checklist to benchmark candidate providers against cost, compliance, and portability criteria
  • Incorporate into training materials, onboarding decks, or strategy presentations
