The transition to cloud presents enormous growth opportunities for the enterprises that are operating in Europe. With the exponential growth in high value services such as Artificial Intelligence, analytics and Internet of Things, companies have positioned themselves to unlock valuable insights from the data. European Union has estimated that by 2020 data economy will be valued at US$ 858 Billion.
Cloud computing has allowed its users to access scalable and shareable pool of computing resources ranging from networks, servers, applications and services and storage. Instead of investing huge capital in their own IT infrastructure, cloud acts as a further driver for technological growth and enables its users to access better IT infrastructure. Since 2016, increasing adoption of cloud services has had positive impact on the economies of European Union wherein removal of restrictions in regards to data flow has contributed immensely towards impelling growth of European Union cloud computing.
Although not all European companies have adopted cloud computing, but through rapid uptake of cloud embracement it has been estimated that cloud services providers will be successful in garnering average net annual benefit of US$ 3.2 Billion by 2020. In addition,
benefits linked to steady increase of cloud services are further anticipated to rise to U$ 52.2 Billion by 2020 in Europe.
