Enabled Cloud

Cloud Intel Verdict

Enabled Cloud represents the new breed of “agile MSPs” focused specifically on the Microsoft ecosystem. They punch above their weight class by offering enterprise-grade governance and security frameworks at a price point accessible to the mid-market. They are particularly strong for UK-based organizations or US subsidiaries needing GDPR-compliant Azure environments.

Strengths Analysis

• Azure Native: They don’t dabble in other clouds. This focus shows in their deep understanding of Azure’s specific quirks, licensing models, and PaaS offerings.
• Business Applications: Their ability to link Azure infrastructure with Dynamics 365 and Power Platform is a significant differentiator. They understand data flow across the entire Microsoft stack, not just the server room.
• Agility: Projects that might take 6 months with a Global SI often take 6 weeks with Enabled Cloud due to less bureaucracy and a more hands-on senior team.

Weaknesses Analysis

• Global Scale: While they have a US presence, their center of gravity is still the UK. Global 2000 companies needing 24/7 “follow-the-sun” support nodes in APAC or LATAM might find them stretched.
• Niche Tech: For highly specialized needs like Azure HPC (High Performance Computing) or complex SAP migrations, they rely on contractors or might lack the in-house depth of a larger firm.

Ideal Customer Profile

• Size: 200 - 5,000 employees.
• Scenario: “Accidental Hybrid” - companies that have drifted into Azure and need to clean up governance, security, and costs.
• Vertical: Manufacturing or Professional Services firms heavily invested in the Microsoft stack.
