US Government Sector: Managed Services Adoption Trends and Spending

Product Type: Market Research Report
Published by: In-Stat
Published: September 2007
Product Code: R97-2959
Description
In-Stat predicts steadily increasing managed services spending growth in the US government sector with a 7% CAGR through 2011, though this is slightly slower than managed services spending growth in the overall US business market through the same period.

There are three main sections of this report.

The first section focuses on demand for managed services, including managed services adoption trends for four new business network functions covered in the 2007 Managed Services Survey. Also covered is demand for fully-managed IP telephony and fully-managed desktop solutions.

The second section focuses on adoption of utility computing, or "on-demand" services in the government sector. Covered is demand for on-demand network/bandwidth capacity, computer storage capacity, and server/CPU capacity.

The third section focuses on managed services spending. Survey data tables that detail current and future demand for all surveyed business network business functions are broken down to the government sector sub-segment level. A forecast of government sector managed services spending through 2011 is included.

In-Stat divides the US government sector into three sub-segments; the federal sub-segment, the state sub-segment, and the local sub-segment. The spending forecast is split into these sub-segments in the third section of this report.
