Comprehensive Cloud Financial Model Delivers Five-Year End-to-End Assessment of
Actual Costs and Benefits for Businesses Moving to the Cloud 

LONDON, 2011-09-07 09:00 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cartesian, a TMNG Global
company, today announced the launch of its new proprietary financial model -
the Cloud Value Model(SM)- which provides a thorough analysis of a company's
true costs and benefits before, during and after migration to the Cloud. While
there are many Cloud 'calculators' on the market that provide a simplistic view
of potential cost savings, Cartesian's Cloud Value Model(SM) is the only
financial model that provides a robust cost/benefit analysis, enabling a
business to maximise its return on investment. 

Commenting on the toolset launch, Rich Nespola, Chairman and CEO of TMNG Global
said: 

'For many companies, the inability to accurately determine costs is a
significant barrier to Cloud adoption. This is particularly true as it pertains
to the comparison of legacy IT costs to the costs of new Cloud services. Our
Cloud Value Model(SM)performs a comprehensive five-year end-to-end lifecycle
analysis of IT operations, systems and applications, thereby quantifying both
the hard and soft costs and benefits of moving to the Cloud for our clients.' 

As companies evolve to the Cloud, there are expected benefits: cost savings,
faster time-to-market for launching new services, and the ability to enhance
the role of IT staff to focus on execution of strategic initiatives.
Cartesian's Cloud Value Model(SM) allows companies to measure those benefits in
real financial terms. The Cloud Value Model(SM) itemises current IT costs,
including personnel, facilities, systems, operations, telecom/network expenses,
and determines those costs during and after migration to the Cloud, providing
the results over a five-year period. And for Cloud service providers (CSPs),
whose value proposition depends on how well customers understand the CSP's
current and future benefits, the Cloud Value Model(SM) provides the essential
business justification for targeted customers to subscribe to the CSP's Cloud
services. 

The launch of the Cloud Value Model(SM) is third in a series of Cloud
initiatives in 2011 that Cartesian has announced. The company helps clients
evaluate and manage the complexities of Cloud enablement.
