FRANKFURT, Germany–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)– \nThe 2025 ISG Provider Lens\u00ae<\/sup> Multi Public Cloud Services report for Germany finds that growth in public cloud services is no longer driven primarily by faster time to market or enhanced customer experience. Growth is increasingly shaped by the integration of AI technologies, with enterprises prioritizing scalable infrastructure, security controls and support for sustainability and sovereign cloud requirements.<\/p>\n \n\u201cAs enterprises move AI from pilots into core operations, they are reassessing the role of cloud platforms in supporting their business,\u201d said Matthias Paletta, director at ISG. \u201cThey demand cost optimization, data protection and use cases aligned to their specific industries. These expectations are leading providers to deliver greater efficiency and sustained value.\u201d<\/p>\n \nSovereign cloud capabilities have shifted from a provider-led initiative to a core enterprise expectation. German enterprises are seeking stronger control over data, compliance and legal certainty, ISG says. This shift has increased demand for cloud solutions that ensure local data residency without sacrificing scalability. Hyperscalers are responding by expanding regional data centers, aligning their offerings with local regulations and strengthening security controls. With these advances, they are allowing enterprises to adopt sovereign cloud models while still enjoying the flexibility, scale and innovation of public cloud infrastructures.<\/p>\n \nFacing increasing competition, German companies are sharpening their focus on cloud cost optimization, the report says. While scalability and performance remain essential, budget constraints and economic uncertainty are driving demand for greater financial transparency and near-term savings. In response, providers are supporting enterprises with structured cost-management approaches and optimization frameworks. Advisory services help align cloud investments with business priorities, improve return on investment and maintain operational efficiency throughout digital transformations.<\/p>\n \nSmall and midsize German enterprises increasingly seek end-to-end cloud and IT solutions that include strategy, transformation and ongoing operations, ISG says. Organizations in Germany prefer integrated offerings from a single provider that combine advisory capabilities with reliable managed services. To meet these expectations, leading providers are strengthening their industry-specific expertise and realigning their organizations around the needs of specific verticals. These providers are best positioned to address evolving small and midsize business requirements and build long-term customer relationships.<\/p>\n \n\u201cEnterprises in Germany are increasingly focused on cybersecurity and sustainability as risk exposure and regulatory expectations rise,\u201d said Ulrich Meister, lead author of the report. \u201cMany are partnering with providers on strategies to protect assets, including IoT infrastructure, and meet climate goals.\u201d<\/p>\n \nThe report also explores other trends in German cloud adoption, including the growing demand for interoperable data and AI services across multiple cloud platforms and enterprise efforts to consolidate cloud management partners<\/p>\n \nFor more insights into the cloud-related challenges facing German enterprises, plus ISG\u2019s advice for addressing them, see the ISG Provider Lens\u00ae<\/sup> Focal Points briefing here<\/a>.<\/p>\n \nThe 2025 ISG Provider Lens\u00ae<\/sup> Multi Public Cloud Services report for Germany evaluates the capabilities of 100 unique providers across eight quadrants: Consulting and Transformation Services \u2014 Large Accounts; Consulting and Transformation Services \u2014 Midmarket, Managed Services \u2014 Large Accounts; Managed Services \u2014 Midmarket, FinOps Services and AI-driven Optimization, Hyperscale Infrastructure and Platform Services, SAP HANA Infrastructure Services, and Secure Enterprise Filesharing Services.<\/p>\n \nThe report names Deutsche Telekom\/T-Systems as a Leader in seven quadrants.
