| AGY-01: Business Value of Above Property Solutions | On-premises or cloud? As cloud solutions encompass more and
more of the computing landscape, the question is not if, but when and how much
do you move to an above property solution that is not entirely (if at all)
located at your own location. The answers to those questions become clearer if
you quantify both the cost and the benefits of ownership for all alternatives.
