    Project 3: Cloud Portfolio Report
    Step 1: Review BallotOnline's Cloud Services Offerings

    You've now had a lot of experience working on many aspects of the cloud at BallotOnline, and you will take a look at what you've done in the past. In this step, you will write up how you implemented each of the use cases using the information found in the BallotOnline use case scenarios.

    This is your opportunity to show your deep technical understanding for each of these systems or infrastructure. You have completed the proof of concept (POC) for each of these. You can use those as the foundation for this part of your report, but keep in mind that sometimes implementing a production environment is different than doing a POC.

    **Take Note**

    As a refresher, you may want to go back to the
    [Project Archive](https://leocontent.umgc.edu/content/umuc/tgs/ccs/ccs670/2252/course-resource-list/project-archive.html?ou=1275396)  to review when you did these deployments or POCs in previous courses, or you may want to use new services.

    After submitting the Monthly Cost Analysis, move on to the next step to review the AWS Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Calculator.

    Project 3: Cloud Portfolio Report
    Step 4: Review the AWS Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Calculator

    In the previous step, you calculated BallotOnline's costs within AWS. However, this doesn't give the complete picture of costs, as there are also costs outside of AWS associated with supporting the cloud endeavors. To calculate all those costs, including hard and
    [soft costs](https://leocontent.umgc.edu/content/scor/uncurated/cca/2218-cca670/learning-topic-list/soft-costs.html?ou=1275396) incurred outside of AWS, you will conduct
    [Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)](https://leocontent.umgc.edu/content/scor/uncurated/cca/2218-cca670/learning-topic-list/total-cost-of-ownership–tco-.html?ou=1275396) analysis.

    TCO is a cost-estimating procedure that considers both direct and indirect cost and benefits such as hardware and software acquisition, management and support, communications, end-user expenses and the opportunity cost of downtime, training, and other potential losses in productivity.

    There are several publicly available tools and TCO calculators available, including those provided by the cloud vendors themselves, each of which may have slightly different inputs and units of measurement for costs. In this step, you will evaluate the pros and cons of using the
    [AWS Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Calculator](https://aws.amazon.com/tco-calculator/) for different AWS services.

    Engage in an online conversation with your colleagues to discuss pros and cons of using the AWS TCO Calculator in the Discussion: AWS TCO Calculator.

    **Take Action**

    Follow these steps to access the discussion:

    · Click My Tools in the top navigation bar.

    · Click Discussions.

    · Select the relevant discussion.

    Once in the discussion, you can Start a New Thread, as well as respond to threads others have created. Use the discussion to develop awareness, share your thoughts, ask questions, and reflect. Remember that everyone brings a valuable and unique perspective, and treat everyone with respect.

    After discussing the AWS TCO Calculator, you will move to the next step to conduct the TCO analyses for the selected use cases.

    Project 3: Cloud Portfolio Report
    Step 5: Conduct the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Analysis for the Selected Use Cases

    In the last step, you examined the
    [AWS Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Calculator](https://aws.amazon.com/tco-calculator/). Now, in this step, you will use it to conduct the TCO analysis for the following BallotOnline-specified AWS deployment use cases, with the monthly costs that you calculated in the Monthly Costs Analysis that you submitted for review in Step 3:

    · BallotOnline website

    · Messaging

    · Disaster recovery and backup

    · IT self-service portal

    · Web application (all on-demand)

    Use the
    [TCO Analysis Template](https://leocontent.umgc.edu/content/dam/course-content/tgs/cca/cca-670/document/TCO%20Analysis%20Template.docx?ou=1275396) to record your calculations and submit them to Sophia for feedback after reading the instructions below.

    Follow these steps to access the assignment:

    · Click My Tools in the top navigation bar.

    · Click Assignments.

    · Select the relevant assignment.

    After submitting the TCO Analysis, you will move on to the next step, in which you will analyze return on investment.

    Project 3: Cloud Portfolio Report
    Step 6: Conduct the Return on Investment (ROI) Analysis for the Selected Use Cases

    In the previous step, you calculated the TCO for the selected use cases. In that analysis, you sought to understand the complete cost of cloud expenditures by looking at both the purchase and additional costs of operation both within and outside of the cloud vendor.

    Now you can continue your analysis by performing a
    [Return on Investment (ROI) analysis](https://leocontent.umgc.edu/content/scor/uncurated/cca/2218-cca670/learning-topic-list/return-on-investment–roi-.html?ou=1275396), which focuses on costs versus benefits of our investment in the cloud. A favorable ROI will demonstrate to the executives that the migration to the cloud has been a good investment for BallotOnline.

    Use your TCO calculations from Step 5 to conduct the ROI analysis for use cases over the next three years:

    · BallotOnline website

    · Messaging

    · Disaster recovery and backup

    · IT self-service portal

    · Web application (all on-demand)

    Step 7: Create Presentation Slides Summarizing TCO and ROI Results

    Sophia is preparing for the presentation of the financial results to the executives. However, she knows the executives don't want to go over the entire portfolio at the meeting, so she will concisely highlight the the real numbers of how the costs and value can be derived from BallotOnline's use of cloud services.

    Create a brief PowerPoint or Google slide deck (one to two content slides) summarizing your TCO and ROI analyses, and submit your materials to Sophia after reading the instructions below.
