We’ve developed our cloud optimisation service to help you maximise the value of your cloud environment and gain transparent control over costs.
Recent global events have seen a significant increase in businesses rapidly adopting cloud solutions to ensure a more flexible, scalable and robust IT infrastructure. However, not all have made the move and maybe considering whether they need to, or what the benefits might be.
The recent transition to remote working has highlighted the need for digital resilience and an IT infrastructure that’s flexible, scalable and reliable. As a result, we’re seeing more organisations looking to the cloud to provide that service, with an interest in finding out more about the benefits, the migration process and their options for a future cloud-first strategy.
The report was produced by the British Private Equity and Venture Capital Association (BVCA) to highlight the public value of the industry in the United Kingdom and how, in 2021, it can help address a range of policy challenges and opportunities. You can read the original report here.
As a result of the increased need for digital transformation, we’re seeing businesses wanting to review and develop their cloud strategy with some playing catch up against competitors that may have already made the switch.
The rise in digital transformation initiatives, cloudification, regulatory compliance and the global pandemic has fuelled the need for scalable and accessible infrastructures that can seamlessly integrate with newer technologies when required. So, with cloud computing becoming the norm for many businesses, many are now looking to how they can ensure their cloud’s performance is maximised to its full potential.
Using our blend of expertise and vast experience, we delved into the most important factors to consider for achieving a successful cloud migration, from having the right cloud-first mindset to phasing the approach to achieve optimal results.
Drawing upon research from The Cloud Industry Forum we asked attendees to rate the most important challenges their cloud adoption has created. We found that 75% of respondents believe that Covid has raised concerns about cost control, along with an increase in shadow IT, while 25% worry about a lack of staff with cloud-specific skills.

The unexpected mass move to remote working created numerous new challenges for businesses. Whilst the priority may have initially been to enable workforces to work from home quickly and efficiently, many overlooked the importance of remote security. Ultimately, running the risk of exposing themselves to a myriad of potential vulnerabilities.
During the past year, we have experienced first-hand the importance of enabling collaboration from anywhere, at any time and on any device. As a result, the use of Microsoft Teams has grown exponentially due to more people working remotely, education settings enabling online learning and more recently, for personal users.
