Managed Services Europe to Triple in Value by 2011

[outsourcingplans]

A new report from consultancy BroadGroup forecasts that Managed Services in Europe will almost triple in value by 2011 to €6.2 billion.

The report says that managed services have emerged from a small base to an opportunity experiencing growth currently running at 20%per annum and approximately equal in size to the combined revenues for web hosting and colocation. The report- Managed Services Europe, provides the assessment of service offerings in the sector and the strategies of new market entrants.

Evidence gathered for the report suggests that Telecom providers will eventually dominate the hosting market due to their business scale and customer-market presence, taking approximately 32% market share by 2011. Although all service providers will benefit from the adoption of managed services, data centres stand to gain extensively by providing carrier neutral space to the system integrators and hosting providers, claims the report.
