Abstract
This IDC study discusses the penetration and adoption patterns for
managed print services (MPS) across 10 countries in Asia/Pacific (excluding
Japan) or APEJ. This study uncovers the drivers valued by
end users and the verticals most likely to spend on
the migration of in-house services to MPS.
"Within Asia/Pacific, organizations are
scrutinizing their operations internally and focusing on cost-reduction strategies. The
global downturn is highlighting the benefits of outsourced and managed
services by focusing on the need to convert capex into
opex. However, over the next two years, IDC does expect
MPS demand to be centered on basic services such as
consumables replacement and break-fix services rather than the higher-end/value-added services,"
says Suchitra Narayan, research manager, Services, IDC Asia/Pacific.
