Global IT management as a service market outlook
Technavio’s research analyst predicts the global IT management as a service (ITMaaS) market to grow significantly at a CAGR of 38% during the forecast period. The increased need to reduce IT costs is the primary growth driver for this market. For most organizations, and specifically SMEs, the IT environment accounts for a significant portion of their investment budget. Also, a large amount is spent on the management of the IT environment. With ITMaaS, the software requirements associated with IT management and maintenance are shifted from internal IT departments to ITMaaS vendors or service providers. This reduces the burden on in-house IT departments and implementation costs.
The growing adoption of BYOD in this market is expected to boost market growth during the forecast period. BYOD poses a serious challenge to companies in terms of data security. Organizations, though aware of the potential risks, are working on their BYOD policies rather than restricting their employees to connect to the company networks through their own devices. This will lead to increased adoption of IT management solutions by companies that are embracing the BYOD policy.
