• Self-healing due to high impact to business

• Can’t afford expensive resources integrating IT Silos and disparate tools

• Need simple, out-of-box, integrated management

• Need Management across Public and Private

• Control LOB creating ‘shadow IT’ via policies

• “We are evaluating SaaS first. Can vCAC be SaaS?” – Publishing

• “We need monitoring and I can’t justify the cap-ex for buying vCOPs, but it is easier to justify op-ex for vCOPs as a service” –Healthcare
