* New Research* Trends and Drivers in the UK Network Connectivity and Services Market

In the rush to optimise their application and service delivery UK organisations cannot afford to overlook the single most important enabling element in the entire ecosystem: the underlying network infrastructure which binds the new cloud-connected world of fixed and mobile devices together.

As such we don't think that ongoing demand for LAN, WAN, WiFi and cellular connectivity upgrades, management and implementation advice is in any doubt - enough by volume to keep SITS suppliers, network service providers and mobile operators equally busy anyway.

But whilst it can be struggle to make big profits from bandwidth alone as competition, price pressure and regulation takes its toll, the network can still be a conduit to greater gains elsewhere, particularly when it comes to upselling value added services around cloud hosting, data security and next generation unified communications.

TechMarketView launched a new research stream, SecureConnectViews, which analyses the increasingly close integration between supplier networking, cloud and data security portfolios, earlier this year.

Our latest report – Trends and Drivers in the UK Network Connectivity and Services Market – explores these themes and identifies areas of the market that offer the best opportunities for suppliers looking to provision network services to public and private sector organisations.
