No. 10: Industry Cloud Platforms
By 2027, Gartner predicts more than 70 percent of enterprises will use industry cloud platforms to accelerate their business initiatives, up from less than 15 percent in 2023.

These cloud platforms address industry-relevant business outcomes by combining underlying SaaS, PaaS and IaaS services into a whole product offering with composable capabilities. “These typically include an industry data fabric, a library of packaged business capabilities, composition tools and other platform innovations,” Gartner said.

Industry cloud platforms are tailored cloud proposals specific to an industry and can further be tailored to an customers’ needs.
