The goal of a PaaS business plan is to ensure that a comprehensive corporate strategy begins to be defined. This template pulls information from both the "PaaS Appropriateness Assessment Tool" and "PaaS TCO Comparison Tool" to:

• Establish the strategy and outline how it will save cash and enable efficiency.
• Focus on the business problems that PaaS is intended to solve.
• Assess the opportunities that PaaS may introduce to the organization.
• Outline potential challenges and how they can be mitigated.

It is important to keep in mind that PaaS is still nascent, so if cloud platform service isn't a good fit right now, it may be worth a second look in a year's time.
