1?? Identify Business Needs – Focus on performance, security, scalability, and cost. Define must-haves for both solutions. 2?? Compare Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) – Break down initial investments, maintenance, and long-term operational costs for both models. 3?? Assess Workload Suitability – Evaluate if workloads require high control (on-premise) or scalability & flexibility (cloud). 4?? Address Security & Compliance – Align with industry regulations and data security requirements. 5?? Hybrid Approach? – Consider a hybrid model if both solutions have strong benefits.

I’d facilitate a balanced discussion, highlighting the pros and cons of each solution based on cost, security, and scalability. Gathering data, addressing concerns, and aligning the choice with business needs will help unify the team.
