Abstract
This IDC study presents a forecast for the worldwide and U.S. hosted
application management (AM) services market for the period 2008-2012. Customers
will continue to look to service providers for an applications road map toward
the future.
According to Rona Shuchat, director of Application Outsourcing Services, "More
providers are standing up hosted practices or expanding offerings to begin to
focus on the midmarket opportunity. While this market is still overshadowed by
adjacent traditional AM and multitenant SaaS offerings, a critical inflection
point is being reached as customers decide on package upgrade paths or
alternative rehosting, redesign, or migration options from legacy custom
applications."
