New research has revealed that the outsourcing service market is experiencing significant change.
A report by IDC on behalf of I.NET, part of BT Italia, found that IT sectors are becoming "increasingly interdependent" as organisations look to meet the requirements of the market.
The study claimed that data and system security continues to be one of the key challenges facing enterprises, prompting many to seek solutions that provide "greater visibility, transparency and integration".
"They also need partners that understand what drives and what hinders ICT projects to truly respond and adapt to companies' business and IT needs," it noted.
According to the research, the "convergence" of security, storage and system management is likely to create a number of new opportunities within the ICT industry.
In related news, Gartner recently reported that 41 per cent of businesses are outsourcing IT in order to improve performance.
This compares to 28 per cent three years ago, the research firm noted.
