Abstract
This IDC study presents a forecast for the worldwide and U.S. hosted application management (AM) services market for the period 2008-2012. Customers will continue to look to service providers for an applications road map toward the future.
According to Rona Shuchat, director of Application Outsourcing Services, "More providers are standing up hosted practices or expanding offerings to begin to focus on the midmarket opportunity. While this market is still overshadowed by adjacent traditional AM and multitenant SaaS offerings, a critical inflection point is being reached as customers decide on package upgrade paths or alternative rehosting, redesign, or migration options from legacy custom applications."
