Buying Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), combined with an independent performance test, is similar to purchasing traditional ICT goods. The level of confidence for SaaS/PaaS is not the same.The procurement process of cloud IaaS is shorter (compared to a traditional procurement of large-scale H/W resources)Joint procurement is a good practice to share risks & legal burdens, especially when procuring innovation!Joint procurement allows to aggregate demand and budget therefore more negotiation & customization power
