SkyKick expands European operations

Doubles number of European employees and moves into a larger Amsterdam-based European headquarters to support partner growth in region.

SkyKick, global provider of cloud management software for information technology (IT) solution partners, will be establishing a significantly larger European headquarters and increasing the number of European employees to continue to serve its global partner base. SkyKick's European headquarters will be located along with Amazon, Uber and other U.S.-based tech companies in the new Amsterdam Spaces Amstel building called "The Cloud." Along with the move, the company will be doubling its European employee count.
"The number of European companies that are moving their business to the cloud continues to skyrocket. In fact, after exceptional growth in 2015, technology analyst firm IDC estimates that through 2020, public cloud services in Western Europe will grow at a compound annual growth rate of 26.1 percent," said SkyKick EMEA General Manager Kathryn Saducas. "SkyKick is committed to meeting the unique needs of our international partners and helping them succeed in the cloud. We're excited to invest to help our European partners tap into the vast cloud market opportunity."
The larger Amsterdam office will house the first SkyKick Support Center outside the U.S., ensuring around the clock customer support in the region along with local language capabilities. SkyKick will also add more sales and operations employees at its Amsterdam office.
According to a recent report by Research and Markets, the European cloud computing industry generated $18.9 billion in 2016 compared to a recent report by Gartner that estimated spending worldwide on cloud services was $246.8 billion in 2016. By further expanding into Europe, SkyKick intends to help partners in the region grow their cloud profitability.
"Despite strong cloud growth and Europe's position as one of the world's leading economies, there is still a large cloud market growth opportunity here," said SkyKick Vice President of Global, Eric Jewett. "European privacy rules can complicate cloud operations, but SkyKick's move today -- coupled with recent data center expansions in Europe -- empowers partners to better help their customers navigate and leverage cloud opportunities in the region."
