IDC's Europe, Middle East and Africa Industry Cloud Strategies will analyze the industry cloud offerings available in the EMEA region. Industry cloud refers to sector-specific functionalities, configuration/implementation templates, data models, and so forth in cloud service providers' portfolios (particularly platform-as-a-service and software-as-a-service providers). This theme will analyze the number of sectors to which cloud service providers deliver industry cloud solutions and the regional availability of these solutions. The service will also analyze the type of capabilities they offer, whether full-fledged applications with industry-specific logic, data models, deployment templates. It will analyze how cloud providers partner with professional services companies to sell and deliver industry cloud solutions. This theme will be a collaborative effort between the European Cloud team, with its deep expertise in cloud suppliers, and the Insights team, with its in-depth knowledge of industry cloud capabilities and strategies in specific sectors.
