Case Study: Global Direct-Selling Products Company gains confidence in cloud migration with Pariveda Solutions

Cloud Business Case for Confident Decisions

Global Direct-Selling Products Company had been considering moving its ecommerce systems to the cloud for three years, but remained uncertain about the financial case. They expected benefits from avoiding hardware purchases, consolidating data centers, and handling highly cyclical workloads more efficiently, but needed confidence before making the move. Pariveda Solutions stepped in to help build that confidence with a cloud business case and TCO analysis.

Pariveda Solutions mapped current spending from financial statements, allocated costs across infrastructure and application bundles, and built pricing calculators to compare on-premises and cloud ownership costs on an apples-to-apples basis. The team also modeled migration costs, capacity release timing, NPV, ROI, and payback period, while identifying modernization opportunities and cloud-only benefits. As a result, the CIO and CFO gained confidence to move forward, prioritizing ecommerce migration while deferring supply chain migration until SaaS options mature, creating a clearer and more strategic path to the cloud.
