When enterprises conduct a total cost of ownership (TCO) analysis for cloud migration, they often scope the costs to deliver the migration, and don’t assess beyond this point in the journey.

In fact, it’s what comes after you go live in the cloud that can truly wreak havoc on your financial modeling.
