When it comes to year 2015, some of the big technology forces will come from Cloud, Big Data,Mobility and Social Media, along with continued global economic uncertainty and this will accelerate the restructuring of the IT services market.
When it comes to channel business, all these technologies around cloud, big data and mobility will generate huge kind of opportunities that can propel them towards better growth prospects in the year 2015.
As per the figures given by Gartner, by 2015 -low-cost cloud services to cannibalise up to 15 per cent of top outsourcing players’ revenue, and more than 20 per cent of large IT outsourcers not investing enough in industrialisation and value-added services will disappear through merger and acquisition.
And as per the market research reports, by the end of 2015, Big data demand will reach 4.4 million jobs globally, but only one-third of those jobs will be filled.
Gartner says the demand for Big Data is growing,and enterprises will need to reassess their competencies and skills to respond to this opportunity. Hence, there will be big opportunities around Big Data for solution providers and system integrators as well.
A large percentage of enterprises will bypass broad-scale deployment ofWindows 8.Gartner also claims that most enterprises and their trusted management vendors are not yet prepared for the change to Windows 8, and says enterprises will want to wait for more stability before proceeding.
Is this not the right time for the channel to think about the revenue in cloud and big data??
