Spending on Managed Services Increasing As Enterprises Turn to Outsourcing to Handle Complexity

PRLog (Press Release) - Feb 17, 2008 -
Bharatbook.com, is proud to announce a report ''Managed Services in an IP World: New Opportunities for Wireless and Wired Networks 2008-2013' online at  http://www.bharatbook.com/detail.asp?id=51081.

Managed services, traditionally supplied by carriers or systems integrators to support their customer’s requirements for complete WAN solutions, are headed into new territory. Where once managed services required separate capabilities for monitoring each voice, data, mobile or video service, convergence based on common IP networks and systems technology will present new opportunities for wireless and wireline providers.

In this study, Insight provides a detailed analysis of the current managed services marketplace: the providers, the technology, and the scope of current service offerings. The report will identify the rapid changes in technology that will impact how customers manage their networks and the opportunities for both service providers and vendors to address their customer’s changing needs. Insight will provide forecasts of the underlying services and the demand for managed offerings that span wireless and wired networks. Because adoption of new technology is occurring at a different pace across each geographic region, in this study Insight will provide recommendations for service providers and vendors in each region.

Report Excerpt



1.1 Why Managed Service Growth?
Internet protocol (IP) communications is taking its place alongside civilization-changing communications innovations such as moveable type, radio, and TV—technologies that changed civilization by making the world a smaller, and perhaps a better, place.  Yet amidst all the changes being wrought by this new communications revolution, it is worth pausing to pity the lot of the enterprise information technology (IT) professional who today must try to manage through it all.  On a daily basis these professionals are being asked to wrestle with questions such as what resources and in which geographic locations will their company be required to support thousands of users across multiple networks with an array of equipment platforms?  If Web-based application performance and measurement are now critical to the health of enterprises business operations, how does the IT professional deliver the next generation of business applications and migrate to a converged IP infrastructure at the same time?

There is general industry agreement that fully converged IP networking will enable a tremendous array of network-based applications and dramatically change the very premise of what is expected in a businesses-to-businesses telecommunications session and in communications between businesses and consumers.  Our analysis also suggests, however, that these applications will be considerably more complex to manage than the legacy time division multiplexing (TDM) networks.  Enterprises managers will certainly have a full plate, since they will also have to contend simultaneously with other challenges:

·        integration of wireless and wireline traffic;

·        quality of service (QoS) issues;

·        24x7 coverage;

·        voice, data, and video integration over the same shared infrastructure;

·        increasing amounts of broadband traffic replacing narrowband;

·        end-user mobility across multiple wireless platforms; and

·        a constantly changing array of new customer premises equipment (CPE) and mobile devices.

Given the numerous and difficult choices confronting the enterprise IT professional today..........
