Our take

Cloud Computing has resulted in a paradigm shift in the way enterprises handle, process and transfer their commercial data. While the new technology has unlocked huge opportunities for these companies, for those handling sensitive data, engaging in this infrastructure can be challenging.

Aker Systems designs, builds and operates ultra-secure public cloud environments and advanced data infrastructure platforms. The company has developed a differentiated approach which combines service delivery with proprietary software automation and a commercial model that provides for competitive differentiation through pricing certainty, product performance and accelerated delivery.

The startup has thus far impressed in its niche, even winning awards in the banking sector. However, competing with the behemoths of IT infrastructure will mean expanding its product portfolio while engaging a wider range of regulated industries.
