Pronóstico del mercado de gestión de TI como servicio en Europa hasta 2031: análisis regional, por aplicación (supervisión de sistemas y redes, gestión de cumplimiento y seguridad, gestión de activos, gestión del rendimiento de la infraestructura, gestión de configuración y cambios, entre otros), tamaño de empresa (grandes empresas y pymes) y usuario final (TI y telecomunicaciones, BFSI, atención médica y ciencias biológicas, fabricación, educación superior, comercio minorista, energía y servicios públicos, organizaciones sin fines de lucro y otros)
La creciente complejidad de la infraestructura de TI impulsa el mercado europeo de gestión de TI como servicio
La infraestructura de TI incluye el hardware, el software, las redes y los servicios relacionados necesarios para ejecutar las actividades de TI de una organización. Esto comprende centros de datos, servidores, enrutadores, plataformas informáticas y otros componentes. Para administrar la infraestructura de TI, es necesario planificar, mantener y optimizar adecuadamente estos recursos para garantizar su funcionamiento impecable. Además, debido a los rápidos avances en el software, existe un aumento en la complejidad de la infraestructura de TI, lo que requiere aún más seguridad y compatibilidad. Mientras tanto, con la creciente cantidad de generación de datos, aumenta la necesidad de administrar los datos de manera eficaz. Una gestión de datos ineficaz puede provocar pérdida de datos, mayores gastos y una disminución de la productividad. Además, a medida que las empresas buscan optimizar sus operaciones, con frecuencia recurren al atractivo de la infraestructura en la nube. Sin embargo, la integración de soluciones en la nube con la infraestructura actual puede ser difícil y necesita una planificación cuidadosa para evitar problemas. Además, existe una creciente demanda de automatización para aumentar la productividad de la organización. Sin embargo, la implementación de tecnologías y procesos de automatización requiere un enfoque estratégico para garantizar que se alineen con los objetivos de una organización. Por lo tanto, los crecientes avances del software, la creciente integración de la infraestructura en la nube y la creciente adopción de tecnología de automatización están aumentando la complejidad de la infraestructura de TI, lo que plantea un desafío para varias organizaciones. Para abordar este problema, varias organizaciones están recurriendo a proveedores de ITMaaS, ya que ayudan a administrar y mantener la infraestructura y los sistemas de TI para sus clientes, con el objetivo de prevenir problemas antes de que ocurran. Por lo tanto, la creciente complejidad de la infraestructura de TI está impulsando el crecimiento de la gestión de TI como mercado de servicios.
Resumen del mercado europeo de gestión de TI como servicio
El mercado europeo de gestión de TI como servicio está segmentado en Alemania, Francia, España, Reino Unido, Italia y el resto de Europa. La región está siendo testigo de una creciente digitalización en varias industrias, incluida la BFSI. Casi todas las instituciones bancarias importantes de Europa tienen una estrategia de transformación digital en marcha. Ofrecer servicios y bienes digitales las 24 horas del día y mejorar la experiencia del cliente son los principales objetivos de la mayoría de los planes de digitalización bancaria. Los bancos reconocen la importancia de tener un sistema de control interno eficiente y un tono adecuado en la cima. Por lo tanto, se espera que la creciente digitalización en el sector bancario impulse el crecimiento del mercado de gestión de TI como servicio en Europa.
La Unión Europea (UE) está elaborando varios planes para la transformación digital de las empresas para 2030. La UE ha establecido dos objetivos principales: más del 90% de las pymes deben alcanzar un nivel básico de intensidad digital, y el 75% de las empresas de la UE deben adoptar servicios de computación en la nube, análisis de big data o inteligencia artificial. Según Eurostat, en 2022, el 70% de las empresas de la UE alcanzarán un nivel básico de intensidad digital. De ellas, las pymes representaron el 69% de la cuota, mientras que las grandes empresas representaron el 98%. Asimismo, el 41% de las organizaciones de la UE adoptaron servicios de computación en la nube en 2021. En comparación con las pymes, las grandes organizaciones son más propensas a seleccionar soluciones en la nube. En 2021, el 40% de las pymes y el 72% de las grandes organizaciones adoptaron servicios en la nube.
Casi el 8% de las empresas de la UE emplearon IA en 2021. Las grandes organizaciones tenían más probabilidades de emplearla (28%) que las pymes (7%). Por tanto, se espera que la creciente transformación digital en las empresas de la región impulse el crecimiento del mercado de gestión de TI como servicio durante el período de previsión.
