NEW RESEARCH: UK Infrastructure Services Market Trends & Forecasts 2015

The ‘race to digital’ is on for private sector enterprises and public sector bodies alike. But for all their desire to forge ahead, many organisations find that their legacy IT infrastructure is not up to the job of supporting their digital ambitions, lacking the flexibility, scale, orchestration and integration capabilities required to facilitate change.

Yet budgets remain tight. Infrastructure – rightly or wrongly – is widely perceived as a commodity to be acquired at the lowest possible cost under shorter term contracts. Juggling the pressure to deliver affordable services with expanding customer technology requirements is no easy task and can rarely be done alone. Suppliers of infrastructure services will need to draft in expertise and delivery capability from elsewhere, either through partnership or acquisition, if they are to successfully address the challenge.

Infrastructure services suppliers need to ‘join the dots’ for their own service provision. They must be able to blend cloud and on-premise IS elements within a single platform or hybrid service, as well as deliver the glue which binds those elements together, adding a management layer to give the customer greater control over multiple resources. If they can do this, they have a better chance to offset falling margins with more differentiated - and profitable - services.
