Investments in cybersecurity and ESG hold
great potential for innovation in new managed services from
Microsoft partners, ISG Provider Lens™ report says
Microsoft ecosystem partners will be a key resource for
enterprises in Germany looking to enhance their digital futures in
a post-pandemic era marked by political and economic uncertainty
across Europe, according to a new research report published today
by Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a leading global
technology research and advisory firm.
The 2023 ISG Provider Lens™ Microsoft Cloud Ecosystem report for
Germany finds many enterprises quickly stitched together solutions
to address short-term needs during the pandemic, and now are
looking to refine their approach to digitalization. Microsoft
partners will play an important role in educating enterprises about
the capabilities of the entire set of Microsoft solutions, which
are less well-known in Germany than elsewhere, and providing the
services needed to continue the workload transformations that were
hastily arranged during the pandemic.
“Over the past few years, many German digitalization projects
have been done hurriedly and without adequate foresight,” said Dr.
Matthias Paletta, director, technology modernization, for ISG in
Germany. “The quick fixes of the pandemic period must now be
cleaned up, creating a major opportunity for providers in this
space.”
In addition to advancing their cloud-first and cloud-native
capabilities, German enterprises will also need to invest in
cybersecurity and solutions that advance their environmental,
social and governance (ESG) objectives, ISG says. Investments in
Microsoft 365 and other solutions will be partly based on ensuring
energy efficiency.
German enterprises still prefer local Microsoft partners to
support them, the report notes. They expect local contact people,
local development capacities, onsite support with the shortest
possible response times and, above all, short recovery times from
their Microsoft providers.
The report also examines the market for running SAP on
Microsoft’s Azure cloud, which ISG describes as “mature on the
supplier side.”
Both Microsoft and SAP have been pursuing a clear strategy of
migrating workloads to the private cloud and the public cloud for
several years, ISG says. In 2022, Microsoft introduced its
Microsoft Cloud Partner Program, a new system for classifying its
partners. According to surveys by the DSAG (German SAP User Group),
Azure is the most frequently used cloud platform among hyperscalers
in Germany for the implementation of new SAP applications or the
migration of existing ones.
“For enterprises, the trend toward cloud-first and cloud-native
strategies will continue,” said Jan Erik Aase, partner and global
leader, ISG Provider Lens Research. “When it comes to workload
transformation, this is where the most important investments are
likely to go.”
The 2023 ISG Provider Lens™ Microsoft Cloud Ecosystem report for
Germany evaluates the capabilities of 60 providers across seven
quadrants: Managed Services for Azure – Large Enterprises, Managed
Services for Azure – Midmarket, Microsoft 365 Services – Large
Enterprises, Microsoft 365 Services – Midmarket, SAP on Azure
