Industry clouds are increasingly becoming go-to solutions for IT leaders seeking services tailored to their verticals.
For most enterprises, this involves deploying existing industry-specific offerings from SaaS providers or hypervisors. For the innovative few, co-creating custom industry solutions in conjunction with cloud providers can not only fulfill an internal need but also provide the opportunity to develop a new source of revenue from their IT IP.
German vehicle manufacturer Volkswagen is one enterprise going the co-creation route, building its own industry cloud for automobile manufacturing in concert with AWS and MHP, a Porsche-owned IT consultant.
