BMF LLC is a small online fashion retailer that is in the process of scaling up its operations. To scale efficiently and maintain security, BMF must make the choice of which cloud-based strategy will work best; this decision is very complex. An HDM model was constructed and used as an aid to make this complex decision. It was built with four levels—Mission, Criteria, Subcriteria and Strategy. At first, through experts’ evaluation the HDM model evaluated all four levels. When the first model produced inconclusive results, the team re-evaluated and delivered a new HDM model delivery strategy. With this new delivery strategy, professionals from BMF evaluated the first three levels of the HDM model (Mission, Criteria and Subcriteria), while the cloud professionals evaluated the last level (Strategy). The new HDM model delivery strategy rectified the inconclusive results of the first model delivery, and identified IaaS as clearly the best choice for BMF.
