The COVID-19 pandemic has expedited the pace of digital transformation and cloud adoption among Europe-based enterprises. Enterprises expect services beyond the cloud, characterized by a customer experience-centric design, business-led transformation, and code-based infrastructure. Cloud sustainability and data sovereignty are emerging as key decision-making criteria for Europe-based enterprises for partner selection. Enterprises prefer providers with comprehensive hybrid cloud solution portfolios and delivery capabilities, and a strong presence in Europe.

In this research, we present detailed assessments of 28 providers featured on Everest Group’s Cloud Services PEAK Matrix® – Europe and categorize them as Leaders, Major Contenders, and Aspirants based on their capabilities and offerings. Each profile offers a comprehensive picture of the mainframe service provider’s vision and strategy, scope of services offered, enterprise adoption, investments, partnerships, case studies, innovative solutions, and strengths and limitations.
