What information is displayed in What are our cloud focus areas?

Focus Area Portfolio Analysis: The 2x2 matrix compares the cloud readiness and cloud relevance scores of an application to the cloud migration strategy recommended for the application.

Here's how to interpret the information:

• The Y-axis represents the weighted score based on an application's Cloud Relevance indicators.
• The X-axis represents the weighted score based on an application's Cloud Readiness indicators.
• Applications are visualized as bubbles and placed in one of four quadrants based on the computation of the cloud relevance and cloud readiness scores:
  • Focus Area: Application is best-suited for migration and has high potential benefit
  • Quick Wins: Application is well-suited for migration but has lower potential value
  • Rehost/Retire: Application is harder to migrate and has lower migration benefits
  • Long-Term Bets: Application is harder to migrate but has high potential value
• The bubble size indicates the application cost based on the current year operational expenditure (OpEx). The larger the bubble, the more expensive is the application.
• The bubble color indicates the recommendation specified via the application's Cloud Migration Strategy attribute. Click the   3-dots button > Show Legend to understand the color coding.
  • Blue bubbles indicate the value Rehost. The application is SaaS-enabled but is either outdated or would require rehosting to the cloud platform.
  • Pink bubbles indicate the value Rebuild. The application could be made cloud ready but would require a change in the build process to ensure seamless delivery.
  • Yellow bubbles indicate the value Rearchitect: The application requires additional effort to make it cloud enabled.
  • Light grey bubbles indicate the value Refactor. The application requires some changes in code to be eligible for migration to the cloud.
  • Orange bubbles indicate the value Retain/Retire: The application supports a business capability for which the Business Relevant indicator is set to Business Enabling or Business Operating and the application cannot be migrated to the cloud immediately. Or the application is at the end of its lifecycle and is about to be retired.
  • Dark grey bubbles indicate that the cloud migration strategy is not specified for the application.
• Point to an application to show a tooltip with the following information: Application name, Cloud Migration Strategy value, current year operational expenditure ( OpEx).

The Applications by Focus Area dataset shows all applications with their key cloud characteristics including the cloud relevance and readiness scores, total current year planned OpEx, cloud migration strategy, and the calculated focus area for migration to the cloud.
