From Service Provider to System Integrator
There’s huge opportunity for the channel in the new paradigm as companies of all sizes attempt to satisfy their employees’ demands for user-friendly, function-specific applications while maintaining a manageable framework. In fact, analysts predict the global system integration market will grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.29 percent between 2014 and 2019 as businesses increasingly source solutions from multiple vendors.
Service providers can position themselves as virtual chief information officers (VCIOs) who have the expertise and offerings to bring cutting edge technology solutions into play while simultaneously wrangling shadow IT. Businesses need someone who can make those dozens of LOB applications work together, stay within budget and adhere to regulations around privacy, all while ensuring data security. Service providers who can step up and fill that role will be in high demand.
