The Forrester Wave™: Multicloud Managed Service Providers (MMSP)
As workloads migrate to the cloud, managed services are stepping up with care and feeding. I&O professionals understand traditional infrastructure services well, but the dynamics of managed services provisioning in the cloud environment are quite different. Services are evolving quickly and span everything from applications to infrastructure.
Companies are seeking partners that can help them evolve as they embrace this technology platform at a time when the ability to adapt with speed is of the utmost importance. This necessitates full capabilities, from advisory through operations. Suppliers best able to address enterprise requirements offer a broad range of capabilities.
As a result of these trends, customers should look for multicloud managed services providers that:
- Can help throughout their cloud journeys
- Have the ability to invest in capability expansion
- Have demonstrated qualifications and partnerships with major cloud suppliers
Evaluation Overview
For this MMSP wave, Forrester evaluated 11 providers across 24 criterions in 3 categories covering Current Offering, Strategy and Market Presence. This report shows how each provider measures up and helps infrastructure and operations (I&O) professionals select the right one for their needs.
