European manufacturing firms are embracing cloud-based technologies and services to accelerate their go-to-market plans and improve digital marketing efforts, according to an Information Services Group report.

The report finds manufacturers on the continent also looking to the cloud to enable direct-to-consumer business models.

"Manufacturers in Europe are turning to the cloud to increase their business agility," said Christian Decker, EMEA partner, ISG Smart Manufacturing.

"And they are turning to manufacturing services providers to help them create new reference architectures and bring resiliency to their operations."

Manufacturing firms want service providers to help them establish robust configuration management databases and leverage automated testing, including shift-left techniques, the report says.

Many of these companies are focused on integrating their manufacturing shopfloors across agriculture, construction and heavy vehicles.
