Cloud Infrastructure: Growing stronger, staying compliant
From hyperscalers to regional data centers, cloud infrastructure is the silent engine behind today’s digital world. But building and maintaining that engine is no longer just about tech; it’s about strategy, regulation, compliance, and scale. At SVOD Advisory, we partner with cloud infrastructure providers to navigate the business side of a fast-changing ecosystem.
The Core Challenges
Regulatory Overload
From data localization rules to cross-border service taxation, cloud infrastructure companies operate under constant regulatory pressure. With each new geography comes a new set of rules, often vague, inconsistent, or in conflict with previous ones. Staying compliant isn’t a box-ticking task anymore; it’s a full-time strategic function.
Tax and Transfer Pricing
Cloud services often involve multi-jurisdictional transactions, complex billing structures, and IP ownership questions. Without the right transfer pricing models and tax advisory services, companies risk exposure, audits, and revenue leakage. This complexity can silently erode profitability, even for high-growth providers.
ESG and Energy Accountability
Data centers now account for nearly 1.5% of global electricity consumption, and scrutiny of energy sourcing, emissions, and cooling systems is intensifying. ESG compliance(whether voluntary or regulatory) is becoming essential. However, few infrastructure providers have a clear ESG roadmap or know how to align sustainability with growth.
Growth vs. Control
Expanding to new markets or launching a new range of services often happens fast. However, behind the scenes, legal structures, financial processes, and risk assessments are struggling to keep pace. Without proper business consulting support, rapid scaling can become a liability.
Talent, Cost Pressure, and M&A
Cloud is booming, but competition is fierce and capital-intensive. Whether it’s optimizing operations, entering a new market, or preparing for an acquisition, infrastructure providers need sharper business models, leaner structures, and readiness for investor scrutiny.
