References 12 Abstract The Seamus Company is in search of innovative technological solutions to optimize company operations and increase profitability. AEY seeks to meet this requirement through migrating Seamus’ IT infrastructure to a cloud-based Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) solution. C768 Task 2 Page 3 This would be accomplished in three main phases; developing a clear and concise plan, moving Seamus’ IT infrastructure into the AEY cloud, and commencing operations within the new environment. Benefits of this solution include a reduction in operating costs, increased business continuity and collaboration efficiency, scalability, flexibility of work practices, access to automatic updates, and decreased time to market ("Benefits of Cloud Computing," 2017). The primary goals of this project are to increase uptime and performance while simultaneously providing significant cost savings. The estimated cost to move Seamus’ IT infrastructure to an AEY cloud environment and provide three years of support is $390,231. AEY is an industry leader in cloud computing, with an extensive track record of providing high-quality, custom tailored solutions to a vast array of customers. This history of success and depth of capability means that Seamus can be confident in AEY’s ability to deliver the proposed solution on time and within budget.
