A single cloud provider can’t do it all for more than half of UK businesses

New survey from Adapt shows cloud integration could help match future business needs.

A new survey has found that more than half (53%) of UK businesses using cloud providers to run all or part of their IT infrastructure do not feel that a single provider is capable of meeting their requirements.


This was just one of the key findings from a survey of 102 UK businesses commissioned by managed services provider Adapt and announced at Cloud Expo, Europe’s biggest emerging technologies event on the 26th and 27th February at the ExCeL in London*. The survey results imply that, as the cloud market is maturing, it will become more beneficial for companies to work with a cloud integrator (a provider that can manage multi-provider services and platforms) instead of a single provider.


Key statistics unearthed by the survey include:
• 53 per cent of businesses do not believe that a single cloud provider is capable of meeting all of their requirements
• Nearly 50 per cent of business are planning to make big changes to their cloud(s) to accommodate their planned direction and growth in just the next 12 months
• Only a quarter of organisations feel that their cloud provider really understands their business.
