Abstract
Introduction
Datamonitor' s Technology Trends survey of 500 IT decision makers shows how the
current penetration levels and investment plans in IT systems management vary
by geography, vertical market and company size. An analysis of the results
reveals the size of investments, enterprises' channel and outsourcing
preferences as well as perceptions of the leading vendors.
Scope
Provides an overview of current market penetration for six IT systems
management solutions. Analyses enterprises' investment plans by geography,
vertical and company size. Reviews enterprises' outsourcing and deployment
preferences as well as assessing the most influential positions for making
investment decisions. Discovers which IT systems management vendors have the
greatest mindshare.
Highlights
Enterprises were asked about their usage and investment plans in six different
IT systems management technologies. Although there are variations in the
current adoption levels, ranging from 50% for data center management to 65%
for network management solutions, the penetration is set to increase by
similar proportions for each of the technologies. Although Datamonitor expects
outsourcing to remain the preference of a small minority, the number of
enterprises that would consider outsourcing is set to increase over the next
two years and may reach an adoption level of 30%. Although outsourcing has
never been a mainstream solution, it is gaining importance as IT systems gain
complexity. Three large vendors have over 80% of mindshare, indicating that
this market is relatively consolidated. This is unsurprising due to the
maturity and high penetration of IT systems management solutions. The reason
that Microsoft is well-respected may be due to enterprises' tendency to select
vendors they are familiar with.
