How could this impact their operations and personnel costs?

Answer options

• A. Reduced on-premises infrastructure management costs
• B. Increased on-premises hardware maintenance costs
• C. Reduced cloud software licensing costs

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because migrating to the cloud typically leads to a reduction in the costs associated with managing on-premises infrastructure.
