Overview

Cloud Services & Migration covers the services that help organizations move to and operate in the cloud — cloud strategy, migration, modernization, FinOps (cloud cost management), and managed cloud operations. It spans the cloud practices of the major integrators, cloud-native consultancies, and specialized migration firms working across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.

Demand is driven by the ongoing enterprise migration to cloud, application modernization, multi-cloud complexity, and the need to optimize escalating cloud spend (FinOps). It is consolidating around scaled cloud-services providers and hyperscaler-partner ecosystems, with cloud modernization and cost optimization durable demand drivers; the underlying cloud infrastructure is provided by the hyperscalers.
