SkyKick Expands European Operations to Support Global Demand for Cloud Management Platform
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Doubles number of European employees and moves into a larger Amsterdam-based
European headquarters to support partner growth in region
AMSTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS and SEATTLE, WA--(Marketwired - Oct 5, 2017) -
SkyKick (www.skykick.com), a global provider of cloud management software for
information technology (IT) solution partners, announced today that it will be
establishing a significantly larger European headquarters and increasing the
number of European employees to continue to serve its global partner base.
SkyKick's European headquarters will be located along with Amazon, Uber and
other U.S.-based tech companies in the new Amsterdam Spaces Amstel building
called "The Cloud." Along with the move, the company will be doubling its
European employee count.
"The number of European companies that are moving their business to the cloud
continues to skyrocket. In fact, after exceptional growth in 2015, technology
analyst firm IDC estimates that through 2020, public cloud services in Western
Europe will grow at a compound annual growth rate of 26.1 percent," said SkyKick
EMEA General Manager Kathryn Saducas. "SkyKick is committed to meeting the
unique needs of our international partners and helping them succeed in the
cloud. We're excited to invest to help our European partners tap into the vast
cloud market opportunity."
The larger Amsterdam office will house the first SkyKick Support Center outside
the U.S., ensuring around the clock customer support in the region along with
local language capabilities. SkyKick will also add more sales and operations
employees at its Amsterdam office.
According to a recent report by Research and Markets, the European cloud
computing industry generated $18.9 billion in 2016 compared to a recent report
by Gartner that estimated spending worldwide on cloud services was $246.8
billion in 2016. By further expanding into Europe, SkyKick intends to help
partners in the region grow their cloud profitability.
"Despite strong cloud growth and Europe's position as one of the world's leading
economies, there is still a large cloud market growth opportunity here," said
SkyKick Vice President of Global, Eric Jewett. "European privacy rules can
complicate cloud operations, but SkyKick's move today -- coupled with recent
data center expansions in Europe -- empowers partners to better help their
customers navigate and leverage cloud opportunities in the region."
SkyKick recently announced support for cloud migrations and backup to
Microsoft's new data centers in Magdeburg and Frankfurt, Germany through the
SkyKick Cloud Management Platform. This move enables IT partners to use SkyKick
to increase cloud business for data-conscious customers in Germany, the European
Union and the European Free Trade Association.
SkyKick will continue to have employees in the U.K., and it also has global
offices in Sydney and Tokyo. The company will host a grand opening celebration
for its new Amsterdam office tonight from 18:30-22:30 at the Sky Lounge in the
DoubleTree Amsterdam Centraal.
