The Cloud Assessment scoring profile in Enterprise Architecture helps you to evaluate a business application for its cloud migration readiness.

To get the cloud assessment option in the Enterprise Architecture, you must install the Enterprise Architecture Cloud Assessment application from the  [ServiceNow Store](https://store.servicenow.com/sn_appstore_store.do#!/store/home). For instructions to download the application, see [Install Cloud Migration Readiness Application](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/xiYiXIsoshujCs1dP45~8w "Install the APM Cloud Assessment application (app-apm-cloud-readiness) from  the  ServiceNow Store.").

## Indicators for the Enterprise Architecture Cloud Assessment {#apm-cloud-readiness-score-prof__section_j1q_wrh_fvb}

The indicators are associated with the Enterprise Architecture Cloud Assessment scoring profile. These indicators help you to evaluate business applications for their cloud migration readiness.

To check out all the indicators, see [Enterprise Architecture (formerly APM) Cloud Assessment Scoring Profile](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/lszh5xirbh2zhFiHASbVjg "The Cloud Assessment scoring profile in Enterprise Architecture helps you to evaluate a business application for its cloud migration readiness.").

## Applying the Enterprise Architecture Cloud Assessment scoring profile to a business application {#apm-cloud-readiness-score-prof__section_wsw_zrh_fvb}

You can apply the Cloud Assessment scoring profile for a business application to assess its eligibility for cloud migration. In a business application form, you can select the Enterprise Architecture Cloud Assessment scoring profile for the Application scoring profile field. For information to fill other fields, see [Add or edit a business application](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/MCMdOKz9e_f1FzOPEgYTRQ "Use the Business application form to add the applications that your organization uses based on their functions and the business processes they fulfill. In Enterprise Architecture, add any business application that is used to assess and track costs, usage, business value, functional fitment, and risks.").  

## Analyzing the Enterprise Architecture Cloud Assessment scoring of a business application {#apm-cloud-readiness-score-prof__section_z3h_2sh_fvb}

You can analyze and identify strategies for cloud migration of a business application by plotting application indicator scores through interactive graphs in the bubble chart. On the Group Analysis page, use the bubble chart to
plot the indicator scores of the applications in the X and Y axis. You can then use these scores to strategize goals and create a demand to invest in, replace, or sustain the application. To know more about analyzing the
indicators scores of a business application, see [Analyze application scores in a bubble chart](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/NtnjrKanKOfiBFvfSFbr4w "Bubble charts are interactive graphs that help you identify strategies by plotting application indicator scores. You can evaluate applications for a category and decide whether to invest, sustain, or to replace an application by configuring multiple combinations of indicators in the bubble chart.").
