Over the past 5 years, our proprietary database has analyzed 65,000+ cloud service partners (CSPs) worldwide, tracking how they support enterprises in designing, migrating, and managing cloud workloads. This year, we uncovered two major shifts: ?? Generative AI is accelerating – Driven by hyperscalers' investments, AI-related competencies are growing fast. GCP leads in AI competency count, while AWS and Microsoft Azure are rapidly expanding their generative AI offerings. ?? Industry specialization is taking off – Cloud is no longer one-size-fits-all. AWS is leading the way in industry-specific competencies, helping CSPs tailor services to verticals like finance, healthcare, and public institutions. As the cloud ecosystem evolves, AI capabilities and industry expertise are becoming key differentiators. How are hyperscalers and their partners positioning themselves for the next wave of cloud growth?
