Customer Selection Criteria Recommended Customer Profile Segment: Mid and upper midmarket ROI: Customer understand value and is ready to start immediately Customer Migration Suitability Examples: Low regulatory overhead: Customer identified is in an industry with low regulatory restrictions (e.g., ideally not defence, finance, healthcare, or retail) Industry Pressure: Prioritize customers in verticals who face pressure to reduce CAPEX Scale: Scope of migration should be easily manageable solely by an MSP App portfolio: Select customers whose application portfolio supports migration (i.e. high proportion of Microsoft applications, ISV supported applications, and/or custom applications) On-premises TCO not a blocker: the customer does not require a fully baked business case. Alternatively, the customer is willing to use assumptions/benchmarks to ground on premises TCO Hardware Refresh: Due for hardware refresh. Avoid customers with new hardware Cloud Inclined: Customer is convinced of the cloud business case and wants to pursue a migration aggressively Agent Deployment: Willing to conclude security audit on ISV tool quickly

Selecting the Best Customers Customer Recommended criteria Prioritize customers ready to start the migration of quick win workloads when presented with a strong MSP-led plan. 1. Segment: Middle and Upper Middle Market. 2. ROI: Customer ready to start migration of at around 20 nodes within a month. 3. Suited for cloud: 1. Low regulatory overhead: Customer identified is in an industry with low regulatory restrictions (e.g., ideally not defense, finance, healthcare, or retail). 2. Industry Pressure: Prioritize customers in verticals who face pressure to reduce CAPEX. 3. Scale: Scope of migration should be significant but manageable for an MSP (20-200 VMs). 4. App portfolio: Select customers whose app portfolio supports migration (i.e. high proportion of MSFT apps, ISV supported apps, and/or custom apps). 5. On-prem TCO not a blocker: customer doesn t require fully baked business case. Or, customer is willing to use assumptions/benchmarks to ground on-prem TCO. 6. No recent major gear refresh: recent gear refreshes might lock customer into their datacenters for several more years. 4. Cloud-inclined customer: Customer is convinced of the cloud business case and wants to pursue a migration aggressively. 5. Willingness to deploy tool: Willing to conclude security audit on ISV tool in <2 weeks.
Migration Opportunity The Migration Chasm Migration complexity is both a deterrent and an opportunity.
