In-Stat Reports Adoption of Managed Services among Global Enterprises Set to IncreaseSCOTTSDALE, Ariz. --(Business Wire)-- Managed Network Services (MNS) adoption will increase over the next two years among large, globally focused businesses, reports In-Stat (http://www.in-stat.com). A survey by the high-tech market research firm of IT and network managers in companies of more than 1,000 employees shows that most globally focused firms currently perform network functions in-house. Out-tasking will soon gain acceptance, however, due to increased network complexity and convergence. "In two years, nearly 40% of survey respondents in the areas of PBX/Phone System Management and Telecom Expense Management indicate that these functions will be out-tasked," says Jeff Jernigan, In-Stat analyst. "Within two years, MNS adoption rates will roughly double for security, storage and hosting, with nearly one-third of respondents indicating these functions will be out-tasked." Recent research by In-Stat found the following: -- The need to access state-of-the-art technology is a main MNS adoption driver for global firms. -- 84% of global firms that are MNS adopters are more likely to buy additional services as future complexity increases. The research, "Global Managed Services Trends" (#IN0703480BD), covers managed service adoption trends based on a survey of globally focused enterprise firms with over 1,000 employees. Coverage includes the state of MNS adoption, how it compares to in-house performance of business network functions, and how the landscape might change over the next two years. Included are reasons companies adopt managed services, as well as what might drive future adoption. Survey data that reveals the effect of complexity on future MNS adoption is included.
