SUMMARY

Managed services simplify IT operations and reduce investment by delivering systems and applications as an externally administered service. They provide organizations with predictable monthly costs, access to best-of-breed IT and the latest applications - all without the costly and pain-staking need to overhaul IT systems regularly. Managed services also provide 24x7 IT administration services, allowing IT personnel to focus on strategic issues. The Managed IT Services Market Outlook: Key growth and market opportunities by sector and country report examines and forecasts the opportunities for managed services providers, equipment vendors, systems integrators, and network operators in delivering managed and hosted IT services through to 2008. The report breaks down these opportunities and provides comprehensive analysis of the key drivers and inhibitors by service provided, region and vertical.
