APRIL 2018CIOAPPLICATIONSEUROPE.COM6APRIL - 23 - 2018CLOUD SPECIALEditorialCloud Adoption and EuropeCloud Adoption in Europe lags behind that of US--approximately three to five years. While true cloud penetration continues to increase, hybrid and cloud strategies are slowly taking center stage. This makes for an interesting scenario--a market filled with some of the most promising cloud environments. Fragmented service provider ecosystem dominates Europe. Despite strong demand from SMEs, the market does lack a player positioned at the forefront of this European cloud transformation. This is because no firm has attempted to execute a major European roll-up until recently. However, recent activities do suggest that players are aiming to accomplish the same. Add to this the acceptance of cloud in markets like Germany and France, does have a positive effect. The challenges posed by specific data privacy laws are slowly being overcome too with expanding local data center presence.While large and experienced US players will move aggressively into Europe to take advantage of the growing demand, European players will put up a stiff challenge in the game of establishing market footprint.This edition of our magazine is an attempt to bring to light some of promising cloud solutions providers of today. This list is intended to serve as the starting point to your search for the ideal cloud solutions for your company's growth strategy. Also the CIO Applications team has interviewed many of the experts and thought leaders in this space--providing a better idea of the state of the industry. We hope you like reading this edition as much as we enjoyed putting it together.Joe PhillipManaging Editoreditor@cioapplicationseurope.comJoe PhillipCopyright © 2018 ValleyMedia, Inc.
