Cloud in businesses and the GovTech sector
New report from Polska Chmura
“The Cloud and Cybersecurity Among Medium and Large Companies and in the GovTech Sector in Poland 2022” – that’s the title of the latest report developed by Polska Chmura in cooperation with PMR. It is the first material of its kind based on market data, as well as insights from affiliated data centers.
Over two-thirds of companies in Poland utilize cloud services, with approximately one-third in the implementation phase. It can be stated that the cloud is increasingly embedded in the business models of companies, and it is becoming harder to find a company that does not utilize cloud solutions to some extent. These conclusions stem from the latest report prepared by PMR and Polska Chmura, to which Polcom also belongs.
Premiere of the Polska Chmura report
The report “The Cloud and Cybersecurity Among Medium and Large Companies and in the GovTech Sector in Poland 2022” covers topics related to investment plans, data center localization, digital sovereignty, and the characteristics of cloud solutions used. Wiesław Wilk, the chairman of Polska Chmura, also emphasizes that the data from the report clearly shows the fading trend of hyperscalers:
What is clearly visible in the results of the survey today – the high interest and trust in Polish cloud service providers – was not so obvious until recently. Today, Polish data centers are the first choice companies – both in business and GovTech – appreciated for the potential inherent in human and technological capital, as well as exceptional relationality. The “made in Poland” label for data centers is not only about cybersecurity but also about quality, understanding the realities and challenges specific to entrepreneurs from a given country, successful cooperation, and a flexible, tailored offer to individual needs.
The publication highlights intriguing differences in the approach to the cloud between the business world and the public administration. The results indicate that the once popular “trend” of hyperscalers is slowly fading, especially among companies that, faster than the administration, recognize the richness and pluralism of the market, on which suppliers from the country have been building their positions for years.
Who participated in the study?
The material includes data collected from two significantly different groups, and the analysis is based on 143 interviews conducted among medium and large companies and 60 interviews in the GovTech segment. The report presents the research findings as well as expert statements from customers using cloud solutions and representatives of affiliated data centers.
We strongly encourage you to read the report!
