Despite the slowdown in all US 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 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 newly-released market analysis
report,
Managed
Services in an IP World: New Opportunities for Wireless and Wired Networks
2009-2014 ,
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.
“Make no mistakes about it, while telecom is faring
better than many other segments of the economy, the recession is certainly
having a negative impact on growth, which required that we adjust our annual
managed services forecasts downward,” says Robert Rosenberg, Insight’s
president. “However, this storm does have a silver lining for the managed
services providers, since enterprise IT and telecom managers will be much more
willing to listen to the economic logic of outsourcing now that internal
staffing is contracting, ” Rosenberg concluded.
