For the second year in a row, the study provides a comprehensive overview of Managed Public Cloud Providers (MPCP). All companies were rated in the two main categories "Service / Product Value Creation" and "Vendor Performance" with five subcategories each. Product Value Creation concentrates on marketability and product benefit - the contribution to the digital value creation of the respective offering. In addition, the study evaluates integration competences and disruptive potential, which also includes competences in new technologies such as IoT and Machine Learning. "Vendor performance” includes all company-related characteristics that provide information on performance, customer orientation, reliability and innovation.

The Crisp Research study confirms that Reply is an international market leader in cloud computing. This renewed award underlines the high level of Cloud Computing expertise. "The implementation and operation of public cloud infrastructures requires extensive skill sets and a deep understanding of the IT and cloud architectures, because public cloud providers usually only provide the pure, scalable infrastructure resources. As leading Public Managed Public Cloud Provider, we are building, operating and continuously optimizing cloud infrastructures to enable our customers to leverage innovative technologies such as IoT and Machine Learning and to provide them with optimal support on the path to digital transformation”
