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.
