Conclusion
The presented work is currently being tested in eight different companies in Spain.
Even though the sample is not big enough to ensure complete correctness, the
approach has proven to be valid. However, there is still a lot of work to do and
improvements to make. These include:
•
The set of questions have proved to be valid for the eight cases in which the
approach was tested and piloted. However, as the environment was quite
controlled in terms of current and target business models and migrated products
and technologies, it is clear that if the scope is widened, a new set of questions
may arise.
Also, due to different time constraints, the analysis of the position of the
products in the quadrant was performed manually. The idea is to automate this
analysis as much as possible to deliver completely as a service over the Internet.
•
Future research with the technical and business feasibility analysis. Currently,
these are rather manual and thus, time costly. Supporting tools will be developed
in the near future.
