Cloud Computing - Global Thematic Research
Cloud Computing - Global Thematic Research
Summary
Cloud services account for less than 6% of global enterprise IT expenditure. But whilst enterprise IT expenditure is growing at 3% per annum, the cloud is growing at over 20%. Until recently, the main players in the cloud infrastructure market have been secretive about their performance. So when Amazon disclosed its numbers for Amazon Web Services separately for the first time on 24 April 2015, we decided to re-assess our view on the cloud computing market.
In this report, we look at cloud computing, its key players, industry analysis and value chain.
Scope
This report is part of our ecosystem of thematic investment research reports, supported by our “thematic engineâ€.
About our Thematic Research Ecosystem
GlobalData has developed a unique thematic methodology for valuing technology, media and telecom companies based on their relative strength in the big investment themes that are impacting their industry. Whilst most investment research is underpinned by backwards looking company valuation models, GlobalData’s thematic methodology identifies which companies are best placed to succeed in a future filled with multiple disruptive threats. To do this, GlobalData tracks the performance of the top 600 technology, media and telecom stocks against the 50 most important themes driving their earnings, generating 30,000 thematic scores. The algorithms in GlobalData’s “thematic engine†help to clearly identify the winners and losers within the TMT sector. Our 600 TMT stocks are categorised into 18 sectors. Each sector scorecard has a thematic screen, a risk screen and a valuation screen. Our thematic research ecosystem has a three-tiered reporting structure: single theme, multi-theme and sector scorecard. This report is a Single Theme report, offering in-depth research into a specific theme. It identifies winners and losers based on technology leadership, market position and other factors.
