Enterprise Network Outsourcing: Gaining Traction in Small to Medium-Sized Businesses

Product Type: Market Research Report
Published by: IDC

Product Code: R104-28807
Description

This IDC study analyzes results from our 2006 WAN Manager Survey to uncover managed network adoption trends in the small to medium-sized business segment. The survey results will add perspective on adoption trends, perceived benefits, and service provider selection in the small to medium-sized business segment.

"IDC believes that managed network services are gaining traction in the small to medium-sized business segment. We believe that this will continue into 2007 as companies in this segment continue to look for IT solutions that enable them to lower cost, focus resources on the core business, and improve performance. All of these are leading benefits reported from those small to medium-sized businesses that have already embraced managed network services." ? Sean Hackett, research manager, Business Network Services
