The Application Services Market Trends & Forecasts 2019 report is hot off the virtual press and ready to download HERE.
Buoyed by strong demand for all things digital and further supported by a few megadeals in the operations and support arena, the UK Application Services (AS) market grew more strongly than expected, increasing by 3.5% in 2018. This uptick in activity is not, however, a harbinger of better times ahead.
The UK AS market continues to be shaped by the interaction of a complex set of countervailing forces which will limit headline growth to the low single digits. These dynamics will be with us for some time to come as the market transitions from simple to complex digital transformation.
This is, however, a rapidly changing market. As the demand for digital driven services matures so it accounts for an ever-increasing proportion of AS expenditure. This presents a significant growth opportunity for those suppliers that can align themselves with it.
AS is an arena where the battle for talent continues to intensify, acquisition-driven diversification is accelerating and the core delivery model is being radically transformed. Collaboration, trust and intimacy have become the watchwords for every interaction. For both individuals and organisations, the abilities to adapt rapidly to this new reality will determine greatly their future prosperities.
The report contains our latest market size and forecast data along with an analysis of the trends shaping the largest horizontal segment of the UK IT services market. It also looks at the “how” of adapting to and succeeding in this dynamic, evolving environment.
