Companies around the world have to constantly evaluate cloud service providers, particularly due to the growing security problems and the dynamic nature of the business environment. Swisscom works with strong providers such as Dell Technologies to offer its customers the best hybrid cloud solutions. ISG sees strong demand in the area of digital transformation, which is a driving factor behind global contracts for cloud products and services, including Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Software as a Service (SaaS).
The latest ISG research on “Public Cloud – Services & Solutions” provides an important basis for decisions on positioning, relationship, and go-to-market considerations. As a provider, Swisscom is once again playing an important role in various areas ranging from consulting and transformational services to managed public cloud services, hyperscaler infrastructure and platform services, as well as SAP HANA infrastructure services. This is thanks, in particular, to strategic partnerships with Dell Technologies, VMware, AWS and Microsoft.
