Most cloud platforms and more importantly the biggest vendors of cloud nowadays are targeting big parts of the market, offering generic cloud services that sometimes serve specific industries in the market inadequately. Meaning that they fulfil use-cases but not to a point where it can’t be outcompeted or sufficiently fulfils the needs.

Generally, these solutions are offered based on a public service provider, however, their compositions of the bundle mentioned above allows businesses in certain industries to better be able to manage their IT infrastructure with compliance in the cloud. Which results in better data, business enablement, and so on.
