After researching the market, organizations need to determine the business needs that drive the enterprise PaaS initiative. An
enterprise PaaS buyers guide is available to help establish the cost-benefit analysis of enterprise PaaS. Once the organization
reviews the buyers guide, it should form a cloud-focused team that can collect and define the companys technology criteria. To
aid the enterprise cloud team, an enterprise PaaS RFP template and scorecard are available to help scope evaluation criteria:

In parallel with efforts to define the business requirements and evaluation criteria, organizations need to begin trials of enterprise
PaaS platforms to gain a high-level understanding of the solution. A full Proof of Concept (POC) is needed to properly assess the
technology, but an initial hands-on experience provides a valuable first impression.

After a technology evaluation and PaaS comparison, the typical vendor procurement procedures should commence with the
winner(s)there are often two (rather than one) enterprise PaaS services. It is crucial to define goals when scoping the services on
apps that will be on-boarded for a given timeframee.g., 20 apps on the platform in the first six monthsand when scoping the
existing tech that the PaaS will integrate withe.g., Active Directory.
The winning enterprise PaaSes should have a workflow that can guarantee success in migrating any number of applications to the
platform within a timeline defined by the end-user. Thus, a successful PaaS comparison comes to a close with the selection and
implementation of one or two enterprise PaaSes.
