Financial issues and imperatives are often influential when organizations are weighing up different cloud solutions options. Most seek changes that significantly reduce their capital expenditure (capex), and are quite happy to tolerate modest increases in their operating expenditure (opex),

do you have suggestions for which financial factors would typically be given prime consideration when sizing up different cloud solutions. Also, do you have any relevant use-cases or examples for where an organization migrating its services to the cloud has made very sizeable capex and/or opex reductions?
