Market Overview

Rapid Global Developments Lead to Demand for Managed and Hosted Services in the
Asia Pacific

The rapid growth in the Asia Pacific region especially as a center for global
demand and supply has resulted in domestic businesses developing in size,
geographical footprint, and technology. The increasing numbers of company
branches, remote employees, and business partners have all contributed to the
hike in demand for better connectivity, larger and more efficient data centers,
collaborative applications, and sound security management. "Such a market
landscape offers significant potential demand for managed and hosted services in
the Asia Pacific," says the analyst of this research. "These services allow Asia
Pacific companies to benefit from faster business rollout, computing overflow
provision, IT operational efficiency, specialized skill sets, and real-time
management of mission-critical information and communication technologies (ICT)
infrastructure and services."

Rising Cost of Retaining Well-trained Professionals Set to Boost Market

"Rapid technology evolution and growing pressure to do more with a limited ICT
budget have resulted in many Asia Pacific organizations struggling to keep pace
and equip their businesses with the required technological capabilities to
facilitate key business processes," notes the analyst. "The high cost of
maintaining a team of well-trained ICT professionals within a company is also
preventing many Asia Pacific businesses from fully realizing the potential of
their ICT infrastructure and coping effectively with growing regulatory
compliance pressures." Meanwhile, the greater maturity of the customers, larger
number of market participants, and better understanding of the cost structure by
the service providers will all lead to price pressures. The competitive pricing
will also bring about the adoption of hosted or managed services by enterprises.
