PAC assesses a rich ecosystem of IT service providers on their AWS competencies in a series of three PAC RADARs

Paris, September 26, 2023 – PAC, the leading European IT consulting and market research firm, today publishes three PAC RADAR reports presenting a detailed analysis of the IT service provider landscape around AWS in Europe, France, and Germany. The service providers are assessed on over 60 criteria to help companies select the best suppliers for their migration to the cloud and the deployment of AWS services. The 29 IT service providers evaluated range from major international players such as Accenture and Capgemini to large European players such as Orange Business and T-Systems to smaller local companies such as Arvato in Germany and Claranet in France.

Cloud computing is now a key technology allowing companies to successfully carry out their digital transformation with the help of new services and capabilities such as AI. This makes the cloud services market one of the most dynamic in the IT sector.

Today, hybrid and multi-cloud models have become the new norm, enabling companies to access the services best suited to their specific needs. Nevertheless, these increasingly complex-to-manage environments can quickly lead to skyrocketing consumption – and therefore costs – of public cloud services.

It has therefore become essential for companies to assess the capabilities of their cloud providers – both infrastructure providers (IaaS/PaaS) and service providers – to find the best match for specific competencies and target business outcomes. In this context, large IT service providers, major consulting firms, and small innovative players have positioned themselves to form a dynamic, highly diverse ecosystem. In this rapidly growing market, developing clear differentiators is a must, and many of the companies featured in this study are aggressively investing in the talent, assets, and solutions available on the AWS marketplace to differentiate themselves and gain market share.

AWS has now established itself as the undisputed market leader in public IaaS/PaaS, with a market share of 45% in Europe in 2022, according to PAC’s ranking, far ahead of its main competitors Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform. It has thus become an indispensable partner for IT service providers aiming to fully exploit the enormous growth potential offered by the public cloud model.

In this series of three PAC RADARs, PAC presents a detailed analysis of the IT service provider landscape around AWS in Europe, France, and Germany. The players are evaluated on over 60 criteria to provide a comprehensive and independent benchmark, helping decision-makers in private and public organizations to differentiate between providers according to their investments in talent, training, and the development of dedicated verticalized solutions.

Thoma Bravo completes the acquisition of ForgeRock and combines ForgeRock into Ping Identity

Thoma Bravo, one of the largest software investors, has over US$127 billion in assets under management as of March 31, 2023, and ForgeRock, a software company focusing on CIAM (customer identity and access management), announced yesterday (Aug. 23rd, 2023) the completion of Thoma Bravo’s acquisition of ForgeRock in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $2.3 billion.

Thoma Bravo also announced that it will merge ForgeRock into its portfolio company, Ping Identity. The merged company will be positioned to better serve customers across the dynamic and fast-growing Identity and Access Management market by providing enhanced products and services, broader geographic support, and increased innovation. The new Ping Identity will seek to accelerate the delivery of identity security experiences for the customers, employees, and partners of companies worldwide.

PAC opinion:

ForgeRock recently announced good financial data for Q2/2023 and is well recognized in the market as a leader for IAM. The same is valid for Ping Identity. With the merger, the companies close the gap in size and offerings to main competitors like OKTA.

However, we must pay attention to the organizational and, above all, product-related effort required to integrate the two companies. Another critical factor is how SaaS customers, in particular, will support this integration.

Nevertheless, we think this step is valuable for ForgeRock and Ping Identity, as well as for Thoma Bravo in the long run.

Le top 10 des ESN dans une forme éblouissante !

Paris, lundi 10 juillet 2023 – Les résultats de l’année 2022 du top 10 des ESN en France se sont situés bien au-dessus du marché avec une croissance de +10,9% alors que le marché dans son ensemble a bénéficié d’une croissance de +6,6%.

Au vu des incertitudes géopolitiques et économiques qui pesaient sur les économies française et européenne, la visibilité sur la dynamique du marché des services numériques n’était pas très bonne courant 2022. Même les principaux indicateurs macro-économiques comme le PIB ou l’inflation ont été très difficiles à estimer et les projections ont pas mal évolué au cours de l’année pour finir sur une note plus optimiste en fin d’année 2022. Finalement, la croissance du marché des services numériques s’est établie à +6,6% en 2022. Il n’avait pas connu une telle croissance depuis la période précédant la crise de 2008 ! Cela montre clairement l’importance prise par le numérique au sein des entreprises aujourd’hui et la forte traction liée à l’adoption des technologies de l’information.
