Company mission
Shaping Cloud's mission is to help clients differentiate between the cloud that is just an illusion and that which brings true transformational value. It aims to achieve this through public and hybrid cloud computing.
Our take
Shaping Cloud was formed with the intention of helping their clients to identify the cloud service that will bring them real transformational value. Founded in 2010, Shaping Cloud is a relatively established player within the cloud marketplace, and it has grown in parallel with fast-developing cloud technology.
Shaping Cloud's products and cloud services are designed to swiftly inform, securely plan and deliver tangible and lasting differences to their clients, while ensuring that clients maintain full control over their operations. This flexibility and autonomy gives it a clear edge.
The company currently offers four key services: Consult, Deliver, Manage and Innovate. As such, clients can choose what level of support and involvement they need from the company, from expert consultancy, to website, app and platform building.
Headed by a team of IT experts with extensive experience in the public sector, Shaping Cloud has attracted clients such as emergency services and several large-scale regional authorities, including Greater Manchester, and it will hope to continue such growth over the coming years.
