The infrastructure services market is witnessing unprecedented disruptions. In addition to cloud services, software-defined models are creating ripples across stakeholders. Not many providers or enterprises understand the impact of these models meaningfully. The market is also challenged by a poor perception regarding service provider performance. To manage delivery risks, buyers are increasingly leveraging a Service Integration and Management (SIAM) provider. This allows buyers to continue with a “best of breed” strategy, without significant management overheads.

Everest Group’s annual research on infrastructure services provides fact-based perspectives on buyer adoption by geography, industry, and revenue size. It analyzes major trends that are shaping the infrastructure services market and the outlook for the next year. It also sizes the IT services market in terms of infrastructure services and consulting.
