abstract = {Cloud computing has the promise of significant benefits that include reduced costs, improved service provisioning, and a move to a pay-per-use model. However, there also are many challenges to successfully delivering cloud-based services; including security, data ownership, interoperability, ser-vice maturity and return on investment. These challenges need to be understood and managed before attempting to take advantage of what the cloud has to of-fer. In this paper we introduce a nine-step cloud life cycle that can be used for both the migration and the ongoing management of public, cloud-based ser-vices. A consortium of organizations using an open-innovation approach devel-oped the life cycle. This paper describes each step of the life cycle in terms of the key challenges faced, and the recommended activities, with resultant out-puts, needed to overcome them.},
