Service providers help companies activate
fast, flexible connectivity for distributed operations under tight
budgets, ISG Provider Lens™ report says
Enterprises in Asia Pacific, embracing AI and other advanced
technologies, are embarking on network transformations with service
providers as the need for faster, more secure and more flexible
networks grows, according to a new research report published today
by Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a leading global
technology research and advisory firm.
The 2024 ISG Provider Lens™ Enterprise Managed Network Services
report for Asia Pacific finds that companies in the region are
quickly adopting new technologies to replace legacy infrastructure.
As their networks expand to reach distributed workforces and more
locations, amid rising maintenance costs and constrained budgets,
enterprises are seeking the least expensive network and security
solutions that can meet their growing needs.
“The adoption of new technologies, including AI, adds layers of
complexity to already overworked systems and further accelerates
the need for network transformation,” said Dieter Thompson, partner
and president, Global Network Services, at ISG. “Providers are
helping enterprises in Asia Pacific build next-generation networks
with service intelligence, visibility and automation.”
Modern networks are becoming central to business in the region,
the report says. Many companies are seeking comprehensive
engagements with service providers that incorporate network
transformation. Through software-defined networks and observability
tools, these transformations provide application-centric
intelligence that can help organizations achieve their business
objectives.
A growing number of enterprises in Asia Pacific are exploring
network as a service (NaaS) offerings for on-demand connectivity
across multiple network types, ISG says. NaaS allows companies to
rent cloud-based networking services, paying per use. It can reduce
complexity for enterprises with networks that span multiple WANs,
access networks, clouds and vendors. NaaS is the smallest but the
fastest-growing segment of the enterprise network services market
in the region.
Increased internet access in Asia Pacific is driving moderate
growth in direct internet access (DIA) services, which give
enterprises an exclusive ISP link for applications that require
high performance and security, the report says. Among other managed
enterprise connectivity solutions, demand for VPN services is
steady and VoIP is in decline.
ISG expects contracting for managed network services to gain
momentum in Asia Pacific in 2025. Falling interest rates and rising
interest in broad digital transformation engagements are expected
to generate growth, particularly among companies in retail,
manufacturing, transportation, energy and the banking, financial
services and insurance sector.
“Enterprises in Asia Pacific are gravitating toward
comprehensive solutions, especially those that include advanced
analytics and AI tools to enhance decision-making,” said Jan Erik
Aase, partner and global leader, ISG Provider Lens Research.
“Adaptable services that meet evolving industry requirements help
clients compete and grow.”
The report also examines other managed network service trends in
Asia Pacific, including the growing need for high-speed network
capacity for AI training and moves to simplify security
management.
