Cloud first makes the UK grade

Posted on December 1, 2021 by - News

An Information Services Group report claims that enterprises are increasingly embracing a cloud-first approach to their IT investments.

The “2021 ISG Provider Lens Public Cloud – Services & Solutions Report for the UK” said that enterprises are looking to service providers to help them migrate more of their workloads to the public cloud.

It finds many large UK enterprises interested in hybrid cloud environments, which enable continued use of legacy IT systems, even though an increasing number of companies anticipate a time when they would migrate all of their IT assets to the cloud. Small and medium-sized enterprises, meanwhile, are looking at infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) options to replace their depreciated hardware assets.

ISG partner Jan Erik Aase said that the move to the cloud is expected to be the primary driver of IT market growth in the UK in the coming years.

Cloudreach gets its paws on Cloudamize

Cloudreach was acquired by private equity giant Blackstone earlier this year and signalled it was set for aggressive organic and inorganic growth.

Cloudamize automates a lot of processes involved in planning and migrating businesses to the cloud and provides Cloudreach with a tool to develop to automate a lot of these processes and combine the software.

A spokesman said that from an efficiency and a cost perspective it is cheaper to do that than have hundreds of people in a low-cost location.

Cloudamize has built up its own ecosystem of channel partners over its five-year life, which will still have access to the Cloudamize platform.

Cloudreach has also developed its own software internally, which could use the Cloudamize channel in the future.

Cloudamize’s development team is in India and Cloudreach will continue to invest in this part of the business, as well as in Cloudreach’s own software capabilities.
