The cloud has transformed the way in which computing power is provisioned.  This has allowed businesses, from micro-SMEs to enterprise, to offer new business models through a wide range of underlying infrastructures. The shift from on-premise to private and public cloud is accelerating and is enabled by the evolution of existing players together with the growth of born-in-the-cloud digital services providers.  The sector has seen continued high levels of M&A, with trade buyers and financial investors building scale and capabilities to deliver growth.
