The future of cloud computing is quickly becoming a reality and is evolving significantly faster than ever before. And then Artificial Intelligence (AI) enters the scene.
AI is accelerating the evolution of cloud computing even more quickly and will soon make it 10 times more powerful, according to Anuj Bairathi, CEO and Founder of Cyfuture.
Many of us fear cloud computing due to security concerns. Still, Bairathi says that with AI, cloud systems are much more efficient at detecting anomalies and potential security threats in real-time.
“AI can analyze patterns in large data sets and identify vulnerabilities faster than human teams could,” he said. “As per Forrester, AI-enabled security systems can reduce cyber attack detection times by up to 90 per cent. This means businesses can respond to threats more quickly and avoid costly breaches.”
That means more security for users and clients of businesses that rely heavily on cloud services, which today comprise 94 per cent.
However, a considerable challenge remains, said Bairathi: “Businesses face a shortage of skilled professionals who can effectively implement and manage AI solutions, as the AI talent pool is limited.”
This is why the businesses celebrate the launch of Devoteam in the UK. It is one of the largest global tech consultancy firms specialising in AI and cloud computing, and they agree that AI and cloud computing will benefit business and people alike.
Official launch in the UK on April 30th
Devoteam has been a leading consultancy firm worldwide for nearly 30 years. And during the AWS Summit in London, they will officially launch in the United Kingdom. Their first step into the UK was the acquisition of Ubertas Consulting in June 2024.
“The move strengthened Devoteam’s presence across the United Kingdom and Ireland, expanding its reach to deliver exceptional services in Cloud, Data, Cyber, and AI to a client base across industries and public institutions,” the firm said in a press release.
The statement adds that they expect to become the leading AI-driven tech consultancy in the region, doubling their turnover to 2 billion euros by 2028 as businesses increasingly integrate artificial intelligence to enhance their products and services for customers.
Globally, Devoteam has partnered with AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft, and ServiceNow alongside a broader ecosystem of partners, giving them an edge over other competitors in tailored and specialised services.
Reinvesting and creating jobs in the region
“Reinvesting in the region has been a key part of our Amplify strategy and a top priority for some time,” said Stanislas de Bentzmann, Founder and CEO of Devoteam. “Our UK presence underpins our commitment to driving innovation through Artificial Intelligence and strengthening our leadership in AWS, ServiceNow, and Google Cloud.
Bentzman said his company expects to create new jobs for top talent in the region. “As a global leader in AI and digital transformation with 11,000 employees across EMEA, we invest heavily in partner certifications and are leading a strong initiative to certify all employees in Generative AI, positioning Devoteam as a centre of expertise and an attractive employer for top talent,” he said.
For those concerned about climate change, it is essential to note that Devoteam aims for net-zero emissions by 2050 and has committed to participating in several local UK and regional initiatives to promote a low-carbon economy.
