Western European Managed Network Services for Enterprises 2009-2013 Forecast: Will The Upturn Come?

This study looks at the Western European managed network services market for enterprises. In contrast with the network equipment market, the managed network services market is not affected by the economic slowdown and is expected to grow over the next five years.

"The market for managed network services will be accelerated by the economic downturn as businesses lack in-house expertise and are in need of the cost saving benefits associated with this solution. Managed network services providers will benefit on the long-term when businesses are used to managed network services, making them less likely to return to insourcing during an upturn", said Roosmarijn Cornelissen, research analyst, EMEA Network Lifecycle Services.
