Defining the Enterprise Managed Network and Communications Services Market

This IDC Market Perspective details the components and definitions of the managed network and communications services market in Europe across four domains: WAN, LAN, UC&C, and network security. It also outlines managed services market trends and drivers and inhibitors from an enterprise perspective."European enterprises have always been relatively open to using managed services," said James Eibisch, research director, IDC's European Enterprise Communications Services program. "Moreover, we are seeing the market accelerate further from this point due to the shift to cloud, skills shortages, and the need to optimize costs and resources as well as simplify IT operations."
