Abstract

In-Stat research suggests a gradual fragmentation of mid-sized businesses is taking place. Roughly 30% of the people using these firm's networks are not located in main offices, but are on the road, working from home or in remote branch offices. In-Stat expects the number of employees working in less traditional locations, such as at home or in small regional offices, to increase significantly over the next five years. As mid-sized business expand and fragment, these firms' IT requirements, particularly network requirements, will change significantly.

Further, fragmentation may make mid-sized companies more prone to using outside services like remote network management and, even application services, to improve service to and the productivity of workers in off-site locations. Managing the IT requirements of an increasingly disparate workforce is definitely a daunting challenge for middle market firms and, more importantly, presents IT vendors with a host of opportunities.

At the same time, mid-sized companies are feeling tremendous pressure to execute "eBusiness strategies" in 2000, making their Internet agendas the top priority of in-house high-tech talent. This also suggests these firms will be likely to outsource non-strategic IT requirements, and possibly rely on service providers to support their in-house experts in any efforts to tackle the Internet economy.
