Data protection company Bitglass released their Cloud Adoption Report a few weeks ago revealing some interesting growth in regards to European company data reliance. Compared to other cloud suites, the two most used were Microsoft Office 365 and Google G Suite at a whopping 66% with Microsoft lording over them all. In fact, Office 365 was nearly double the G Suite’s 22% adoption (via TechRadar).

The growth towards 66% is a significant increase of cloud adoption shared between Microsoft and Google reported at 59% last year. The 44% adoption rate for Office 365 is a testament to the advancement of cloud computing in enterprises. Bitglass’ EMEA cloud report notes that the highest rates have been located in France with 82% and the Netherlands with 78%.

Even if tech companies in Europe have an 83% cloud adoption rate, Microsoft might not have EU enterprise in its pocket just yet. TechRadar speculates that the European bias towards Slack where it’s been more successful might cause some issues for the Microsoft Teams launch in the near future.

The full report can be read from Bitglass.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time). For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
