The findings also show Chinese cloud and CRM (customer relationship management) software spending growing at its fastest click in three years, adding the winners of such acceleration are the “leading public cloud vendors, and select semi [conductor] suppliers”.
The group of analysts name AliCloud and Tencent as the industry leaders in public cloud, and among the foreign players, IBM outshine other competitors.
