Market Definition
Gartner defines strategic cloud platform services (SCPS) as standardized, automated, public cloud offerings integrating infrastructure services, platform services and transformation services. Although owned by the service provider, infrastructure and platform services may be hosted in provider infrastructures or customer data centers. Services should be elastically scalable, metered by use and consumable via web-based interfaces and programmable APIs. Transformation programs may be delivered by automated, self-service interfaces and managed interactions facilitated by account teams/partners.
