UKCloud: Responding to a changing market

UKCloud (originally Skyscape Cloud Services) has just completed its seventh year of operations. It has been a year-on-year growth story. However, growth has slowed significantly year-on-year, so that in FY18 (to end March), we estimate the company will have grown in the low single digit percentages. Recent growth levels are below management aspirations. But there are ambitious plans to return the business to “punchy” growth and to cement UKCloud’s position as the public cloud provider of choice in the UK public sector.

In this PublicSectorViews’ research note, we consider the reasons behind the recent slowdown in growth and consider whether recent investments will accelerate the expansion of the business and allow UKCloud to dominate the UK public-sector IaaS market.
