IDC: VoIP Equipment Support Services Spending Will Reach $ 1.27 Billion in 2010
2006-10-18
As a result of this change, IDC said, support services spending will reach $ 1.27 billion in 2010.
The increase is spending is projected based on the idea that the shift toward non-proprietary software will continue to create a competitive market in which third-party companies will find lots of opportunities to provide support services for the hardware required to run VoIP software.
“As the IP PBX market shifts from proprietary systems to software applications running on a general purpose servers, the model for support services will begin to look more like the model for other mission-critical software applications,” said IDC analyst Matt Healey, in a statement.
He continued: “In this model, the VoIP vendors will be responsible for supporting the software in partnership with a systems vendor or a third party will be responsible for supporting the hardware.”
IDC also reported some specific recommendations for third-party vendors interested in capitalizing on the support market. Server vendors, the research firm said, would do well to partner with network equipment vendors. Meanwhile, VoIP equipment vendors will need to switch from a hardware-centric support model to one based on software.
