Our take
Founded in 2018 as Digital Dimensions, Cloudscaler delivers enterprise cloud platforms (ECPs). This helps businesses manage both business and client data, in order to streamline workflows and create efficient outcomes.
Delivering services such as cloud audits, cost optimisation and managed service, among others, Cloudscaler can serve a broad range of client needs. In 2021, it partnered with Santander, which was a huge milestone for the company and has supported its strong reputation and client acquisition.
The company also became an AWS Advanced Tier Services Partner, furthering its credibility as a cloud platform provider. This status cemented its place in the market and sets the tone for an exciting future for Cloudscaler.
