Companies Implementing New Business Data Services Will Be the Key Drivers of Growth Within the Market

Posted on: Tuesday, 29 November 2005, 15:00 CST

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c28581 ) has announced the addition of Business Data Services: Growth Opportunities and Forecasts 2005-10 to their offering.

This latest edition of Business Data Services report provides updated forecasts of spend on business data services, identifying the sectors that are deploying new advanced networks and the applications that will be key drivers of future growth. The report discusses the current state of the market and the migration from leased lines, frame relay and ATM to networks based on MPLS supporting IP VPNs, DSL and Ethernet. Recommended actions for incumbent carriers, established data carriers, IP carriers, Ethernet carriers and systems integrators are included.

This report assesses business spend across two dimensions - services and technology - and the detailed approach taken to forecasts results in nearly 5000 data points. The data annex shows spend by a number of categories, including:

-- size of enterprise: large (500+ employees), SME (0-499

employees)

-- country/region: France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden, the UK

and Western Europe

-- service: point-to-point circuits, Layer 2 VPNs, IP VPNs and

Internet access

-- technology: Ethernet, frame relay, ATM, broadband and SDH

leased lines and other

-- management of VPNs

-- access connectivity for VPNs

-- spend per site

-- spend per organisation.

Business Data Services: growth opportunities and forecasts 2005-10 draws on in-depth interviews with 14 operators and vendors, as well as enterprise procurement experience, to answer your key questions:

-- Have the market drivers for data services changed over the

last few years?

-- What do corporate customers really want from their data

networks?

-- Are there different requirements in different sectors?

-- What do smaller companies want from their data networks?

-- Are Ethernet and DSL having the predicted impact on enterprise

networks?

"Price competition remains fierce in data services - businesses expect more for their money at every contract renewal. At the same time, Ethernet in MANs and WANs is allowing operators to improve margins, and broadband is transforming the small-site data market."

Margaret Hopkins
