If you want to compete you must also invest in associated PaaS and SaaS-services supported by a development framework to code and integrate it all. As mentioned, getting an IaaS product is not a problem now, it's about getting the developers onboard.

Isn’t it? Iaas is a lot more than just VPS and a few PaaS offerings, you need object storage, a command line and more. Last I looked the European cloud vendors were very lacking.

SAP has the BTP and all their different products, so IaaS is very much the issue for them and I doubt they have solved it without the help of Microsoft.
