Managed service providers across the UK continue to evolve rapidly, and Solzorro IT Services keeps a close eye on key industry shifts. One of the most notable updates this season comes from Iomart, which has shared a cautiously optimistic outlook following its acquisition of Atech Cloud—an expansion designed to strengthen Microsoft and Azure capabilities.
Atech Acquisition Drives Revenue
The impact of Atech remains central to Iomart’s latest report. For the first half of 2025, group revenue rose 25% to £77.7m. This aligns with broader market demand for managed cloud environments—areas that Solzorro also supports through Managed IT and cloud infrastructure management.
Modernizing Legacy Services
While total revenue rose, organic revenue dipped as organizations transitioned away from legacy services. This mirrored trend across the MSP landscape shows a definitive shift toward modern systems like Microsoft 365 and Azure.
Microsoft Business Revenue Surges
A strong indicator of progress is Iomart’s Microsoft-related revenue, which accounted for 30% of group revenue compared to just 7% last year. This surge reflects high demand for:
- Zero Trust & Endpoint Security
- Advanced Threat Monitoring
- Cloud Backup & Business Continuity
Operational Efficiency Gains
Operational cost control was a major focus this half-year, with £4m in annualized efficiency gains reported. This focus on long-term stability is similar to the strategic leadership Solzorro provides through infrastructure consulting and CIO advisory planning.
