For the last several years, there has been growing interest in the use of managed IT services by SMBs. As a result, many new types of providers have been entering the market. In this newly published report, AMI provides a comprehensive view of the evolving managed IT services market among EMEA SMBs by including:
- SMB end-user drivers & demand
- Description of emerging ecosystem and profiles of key players, including IT vendors, telecom companies, distributors, retailers/etailers, MSPs and local channel partners that are offering these managed IT services; and
- Detailed market sizing and forecasts through 2013
The study focuses on remote managed IT services that are delivered based on a recurring fee model (rather than break-fix), and includes the following categories: managed PC, managed server, managed network, managed application, managed storage, managed security, managed communications, help desk and others. The report identifies key target segments by employee size along with their market size opportunity, requirements for success, channels and suggested messaging. The study also examines different levels of service (e.g. remote monitoring only, monitoring & resolution, total management) and their revenue implications, pricing approaches, go-to-market strategies of different providers as well as their key strengths and weaknesses.
