In its latest report, Gartner has recognized Skaylink as a public cloud – IT transformation services provider for medium-sized companies in Germany. Gartner delivers actionable, objective insight to executives and their teams. Its expert guidance and tools enable faster, smarter decisions and stronger performance on an organization\u2019s mission-critical priorities.<\/p>\n

Even though Gartner recognized several service providers for the European region in this report, Skaylink is the only recognized provider headquartered in a European country.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Gartner explains that \u201cMidsize enterprises are faced with myriad public cloud solutions and an increase in providers promoting an array of services. This report identifies MSPs and CSPs that offer hyperscalers, migration assessments and platform optimization to assist MSE I&O leaders with workload migrations.\u201d<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

According to Gartner: \u201cMidsize enterprises are faced with myriad public cloud solutions and an increase in providers promoting an array of services.\u201d But \u201cMidsize enterprises (MSEs) must execute IT initiatives within their inherent staf\ufb01ng and budget limitations. Thus, MSE infrastructure and operations (I&O) leaders must work from a foundation that supports \ufb01nancial discipline and cost optimization built on cost-effective use of public cloud solutions. Staf\ufb01ng, skills and budget constraints within MSEs often necessitate the use of external resources to modernize and move workloads to the cloud. For MSEs, navigating the crowded landscape of professional services organizations that assess, design\/build, implement\/migrate and manage public cloud solutions is a challenge.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

But why is it a challenge?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Gartner states, that: \u201cPartnering with public cloud IT transformation providers is a pragmatic tactic MSE I&O leaders can use to identify workloads suited for cloud and get assistance with modernization and deployment.\u201d And further: \u201cThe need for public cloud transformation solutions by midsize companies is rapidly increasing.\u201d But there is one thing to consider: \u201cHistorically, MSEs have not been a target market for many larger public cloud transformation service providers due to the smaller deal size.\u201d Though, there is also good news: \u201cService providers that deliver public cloud transformation solutions are increasing their focus on the MSE marketplace in order to gain a share of the midmarket.\u201d<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Ok, then what requirements are important when checking the different providers?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

According to Gartner \u201cKey MSE market considerations, requirements, and data points that vendors must know and\/or include in their solutions include:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Multifaceted expertise and specializations.<\/li>\n
  • Proven public-cloud-based solutions being used by midsize enterprises.<\/li>\n
  • Skilled resources and proven processes that understand the midmarket requirements.<\/li>\n
  • Highly automated tooling to address midmarket resource challenges.<\/li>\n
  • Essential transformation pro\ufb01ciencies, service portfolio and cloud-native capabilities.<\/li>\n
  • Pro\ufb01ciency at delivering key-to-business success, steady-state, cloud-based solutions, including infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), SaaS and cloud infrastructure and platform services (CIPS).\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t

    Having that in mind, as a medium-sized company, how do I choose the right provider for me?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    Gartner recommends that you \u201cUtilize the information below to understand the provider\u2019s experience with onboarding, knowledge and experience in your industry, covers your geography and delivers your speci\ufb01c solution needs. Find out which providers have a midsize-speci\ufb01c solution that peers have validated as a good \ufb01t, have a \ufb02exible and affordable pricing model, and deliver on their commitment with SLAs that meet your requirements \u2014 both technical and business.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Very helpful and interesting are at this stage the \u201ckey example data points\u201d that according to Gartner \u201cvendors must incorporate into their solution for midsize clients\u201d:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • \u201cVertical-solution-speci\ufb01c requirements built exclusively with public hyperscale SaaS, IaaS and PaaS solutions.<\/li>\n
    • Application modernization capabilities development services that are not being created for a cloud-based solution.<\/li>\n
    • Delivery performance, such as scaled-down solutions, unit-\/use-based price models and viable SLA options.<\/li>\n
    • Outcomes via cloud-native professional and managed services built exclusively from public hyperscale CIPSs.<\/li>\n
    • Delivery of solutions based upon the \ufb01ve R\u2019s of cloud transformation (rehost, revise, rearchitect, rebuild and replace).\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
