Report: Spending on Managed Services Up
Despite the slowdown in all U.S. economic sectors, spending on managed services is expected to grow at a compounded rate of nearly eight percent over the next five years, says a new market study from Insight Research.
The report, entitled Managed Services in an IP World: New Opportunities for Wireless and Wired Networks 2009-2014, notes that the present recession may actually act to spur spending in the telecommunications and IT market segments, since many enterprises will find that purchasing managed services from third-party providers is a cost-effective alternative to increasing internal staffing. The study predicts that revenues associated with the managed services market will grow from nearly $30 billion in 2008 to nearly $43 billion in 2013.
Insight’s new report contends that carriers, service providers, IT equipment vendors, systems integrators, and specialist companies will all participate in the growth opportunities provided by this market.
The study differentiates and forecasts five managed service segments: managed data center services, managed infrastructure, managed LAN services, managed WAN services and managed mobility services. In addition to the revenue forecasts for these market segments, forecasts are provided for various market subdivisions, including managed IP VPNs, managed security services, managed VoIP, LAN extensions, WLAN extensions, managed cellular services, and a number of other significant areas within the managed services domain. The report also provides Insight’s survey of outsourced managed LAN, managed WAN, and disaster recovery management services by vertical industry.
