Cloud migration is a complex process, and many decisions must be made before the process can be completed. This paper identifies the key criteria of cloud migration and offers a model for determining one of the decisions: which cloud service strategy (Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), or Software as a Service (SaaS)) to use for any particular cloud migration project? This paper describes some of these types of services as well as presents a Hierarchical Decision Model (HDM) structure for choosing a service strategy.

The authors have created the HDM model, which may be used as a basis for cloud service strategy decision-making at a wide variety of companies. This implementation of the model has been designed for a fictional company, Best Men’s Fashion (BMF) LLC, and the pairwise comparison judgments are based solely upon the priorities of that company.

Keywords: Technology assessment, infrastructure as a service, platform as a service, software as a service.
