Cast your mind back to the office of 2019 – it’s almost completely unrecognisable compared to today’s working environment.

The last three years have seen the rise of remote working, as well as the emergence of big data technologies and SaaS solutions.

As a result, most businesses have now migrated at least some of their workloads and applications to the cloud. In particular, we’re seeing a growing appetite for managed cloud hosting – a market which is predicted to grow from $86.1 Bn in 2021 to $237 Bn in 2032.
