Abstract
“In the downturn, companies are focused on conserving cash, which
changes the way they view investment and thus the growth of new services such
as Ethernet WANs.”, Margaret Hopkins, Analysys Mason Associate
The economic crisis will have a relatively muted impact on the market for
business data services because data networks have become essential for the
running of most businesses. However, data and managed services continue to be
extremely competitive areas of telecoms service provision, in which prices
will come under extreme pressure as service providers chase cashflow. The
reaction of many companies to the recession is to put all plans on hold while
they wait to see what happens. This is delaying migration to new technologies,
even where those offer cost savings.
Service providers need to find ways to respond to this trend that are more
subtle than simple price reductions. Such tactics could include offering
customers greater flexibility and control in contracts for WANs and managed
services, and changing pricing structures to allay concerns about
over-provisioning for a shrinking workforce.
This report provides insight into the effects of the economic crisis on demand
for business data services, based on interviews with end users, user groups,
vendors and service providers, and includes detailed forecasts for spend by
service type and access technology (including ATM, Ethernet, FR and IP VPN)
for seven countries: France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, Sweden and the UK.
High-level forecasts are provided for Western Europe as a whole.
