Nordcloud expands to create Europe’s leading cloud-born enabler

European cloud enabler Nordcloud has combined its previously independent cloud infrastructure and cloud application development businesses in order to provide full-service cloud transformations to its customers. With deep expertise in transforming enterprise IT operations to a cloud-first model, Nordcloud has seen more than 70% year-on-year growth for the past consecutive five years – making it one of the fastest growing companies in Europe*.

At a time when European enterprises are rapidly accelerating their cloud adoption, Nordcloud has become a trusted partner of choice for companies performing large-scale cloud transformations. Nordcloud specialises in both transferring its customers’ IT operations to the cloud, and transforming their IT application development into a cloud-first model.

“After an enterprise has adopted the cloud-first model, all their new applications will be cloud powered. This is the driving force behind our decision to combine our businesses into Nordcloud,” said CEO Esa Kinnunen. “Now we can help even more of our customers move quickly and efficiently to a cloud-first model for both their IT operations and application development. We serve our customers all the way from design to implementation and maintenance of cloud infrastructure and services.”

With more than 250 cloud experts across Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Poland, Germany, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, Nordcloud can offer the full range of cloud-integration services for any international enterprise. Nordcloud is an AWS Premier Consulting and Managed Services Partner, Microsoft Azure Gold Cloud Partner and strategic Google Cloud Platform Partner. In early 2017, Nordcloud was included in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Public Cloud Infrastructure Managed Service Providers, Worldwide.

"We have always helped our customers take advantage of migrating to the cloud,” says Nordcloud UK Country Manager Paul Stapley. "However, legacy applications have meant that full-scale cloud adoption - and the many benefits it brings - often takes place as part of a longer-term roadmap. This is what we’re addressing by combining our infrastructure and application development businesses, enabling Nordcloud to bring forward the goal of cloud adoption and digital transformation for our customers."

As the cloud services market is predicted to grow to almost USD 250 billion in 2017**, and with 48 of the Fortune Global 50 companies having announced cloud adoption plans***, Nordcloud expects to continue growing its IT services business substantially within the coming years.
