Key Highlights
- Lately, the enterprise IT environment has become more complex with the rise of hybrid technologies and services provided by an ever-increasing number of suppliers. The major challenge for the enterprises is to get their multiple suppliers to work together effectively and overcome the complexities of governing them uniformly, thus, giving rise to the adoption of service integration and management (SIAM) services and solutions.
- The increase in the IT spending and the need for cost savings are major factors that are contributing to the growth of the market. According to Flexera 2021 State of Tech Spend, almost half (49%) of the companies globally expect to increase IT spending in 2021. In addition, cost-saving is a top initiative for the companies, which is expected to triple from 9% in 2020 to 27% in 2021. Service integration and management assist in reducing the costs of managing multiple operations and services.

According to a survey of small and medium IT companies by Tech Behemoths (June 2021), a custom web development and web design provider, about 38.5% of the respondents outsourced their projects, and 76% of the respondents pointed out that they have both cost efficiency and flexibility benefits. In addition, 38.5% of the respondents suggested higher profit margins. (n=324 SME from 38 countries).

In August 2021, Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) cautioned firms to maintain a sufficient supervisory system for activities outsourced to third-party vendors. The organization also emphasized following rules such as Rule 3110, Rule 1220, Rule 4370 for cybersecurity, business continuity plans, and others.

In the case of large organizations, the market is expected to grow at a steady pace due to increased spending on the cloud infrastructure. As the impact of the virus subsides, the market is anticipated to grow due to the growth of managed services and technology outsourcing.


Service Integration & Management Market Trends

Cloud Technology to witness significant growth


- The increased adoption of cloud by businesses for various purposes has led to an explosion in the volume, variety, and sources of data, surging demand for applications that leverage data in real-time and an increasing need to integrate data and services that live on-premises, in private clouds, and in multiple vendors' public clouds and thus has boosted the market for Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS).
- With the recent increase of SaaS-based providers in the market, enterprises are facing issues in choosing the right platform for their organizations. Subsequently, data that exists outside the internal boundary of the organization's firewall needs to be controlled and managed, thus increasing the adoption of cloud-based service integration solutions.
- When the enterprises have a mix of on-premise and on-cloud applications, using separate integration tools for both of them creates an unwanted complexity in the IT infrastructure as well as introduces latency. Hybrid integration eliminates the task of rewriting integration while moving back and forth from cloud to private.?
- Moreover, the increased emphasis on the use of Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL 4), the most widely adopted best-practices guidance framework for implementing and documenting Information Technology Service Management (ITSM) which is responsible for managing end-to-end delivery of IT services to customers will further proliferate the market for cloud service integration and management due to the wide range of benefits provided.
- Additionally, according to Epicor Software's annual insights report, 94% of mid-sized essential businesses in the United States are adopting cloud in 2021, up from 25%, which declared cloud a strategic priority in 2020. Some of the major drivers for cloud migration included improved security (34%) via encryption, multifactor authentication (MFA) and 24-hour monitoring, and quality control (32%). In addition, COVID-19 has also played a major role in pushing cloud adoption in the country, with 82% of the respondents suggesting that they accelerated their cloud migration plans because of COVID-19.


North America is Expected to Hold Major Share


- The North American region is expected to significant growth during the forecast period, primarily owing to the presence of multiple industry players, coupled with the rapid adoption of cloud-based services among various organizations in the region. Various factors, such as the increased need for advanced integration services and the increased shift of the workloads to the cloud environment, are also expected to drive the demand for IPaaS solutions.
- Various end-user companies are expanding their presence in the region, which creates a need for outsourcing IT functions. In August 2021, Amazon Inc. announced plans to open several large retail locations in the United States which would operate akin to the departmental stores. The plan to launch large stores marks a new expansion for the online shopping company in offline retail.
- The region is witnessing the growth of cloud-based ITSM, owing to the rapid adoption of BYOD policies for improved productivity, employee satisfaction, and cost-effectiveness. These policies require remote accessibility of information, which is facilitated by cloud-based Information Technology Service Management solutions.
