Description
The concept and practice of converging IT and telecoms technologies, infrastructures, services and markets is not new. However, it is gaining momentum, driven by the growing ubiquity of networks as a key element in IT solutions and of IT as a key element in network solutions. The IT services industry is both an agent and, potentially, a beneficiary of this trend towards information and communications technology (ICT) in the enterprise and the overall blurring of the distinction between the IT and telecommunications domains.

This research assesses the IT services industry’s evolving strategies and positioning in the area of ICT. It examines the validity of these approaches, given the strategic priorities for the industry, customer requirements and the competitive landscape. It also draws out the consequences of these approaches for the future of the IT services industry and the competitive landscape.
