Taos, an IBM Company, emerges as a dynamic MSP by shifting to help organizations migrate and manage their cloud environments
Frost & Sullivan has identified Taos, an IBM Company, as one of the highest-performing vendors in the Frost Radar™: Global Managed Cloud Services Market, 2021.
Cloud has become an essential foundation for business growth, enabling enterprises to unlock cost efficiencies and increase speed-to-market while providing access to new technologies such as analytics, blockchain and artificial intelligence (AI). During the pandemic, businesses accelerated their cloud strategies to gain greater flexibility and agility in digital operations but soon found integrated complexities outpaced their resources. As a result, many businesses turned to third-party expert managed services providers (MSPs) for help with designing, implementing, and managing their hybrid cloud environments.
Frost & Sullivan’s 2020 Cloud User Survey notes that a greater percentage of businesses are engaging with MSPs than at any point in the past. In addition, multi-cloud and hybrid cloud approaches are becoming more common, with the former increasing by 54% and the latter 14% in 2020.
