Analysts designate to the market of system integration the cloudless future: infrastructure of the enterprises becomes complicated from year to year, but they cannot independently create effective convergent solutions any more.
The world market of system integration will reach of $340 billion in the next six years, said in a new research of the American company Global Industry Analysts.
Among the main drivers of the market analysts call complication of infrastructure of IT, need of integration of opportunities of separate applications / systems and activation of business in respect of consolidation, optimization and rationalization of the used applications.
Steady demand for industrial applications (Enterprise Application Software, EAS) allows to give iridescent forecasts of rather future this market.
Against the background of the fact that the companies are forced to revaluate the messaging applications and network infrastructure and to address cost-efficient schemes of distribution of IT, importance of services of system integration comes to the forefront.
Now, said in a research, the possibility of use of the diverse system components (including the equipment and software) working together and creating uniform value for business is so promising that the hi-tech companies cannot just ignore it.
System integration is and will remain one of the most difficult tasks in the world relying on the integrated architecture. At the same time recently increase in level of complexity and sophisticated technological effectiveness of corporate networks forces more and more enterprises to address services and experience of system integrators. It plays an important role for growth of business of the companies providing IT services.
Experts estimate perspectives of growth of IT services as considerable as business continues search of effective solutions of a distributed architecture. For business need of receiving the maximum ROI from investments into applications and at the same time optimization of business operations where workflow improvement, performance improvement of work, integrity of data, decrease in operating costs enters that will promote growth of the market of system integration for a row of years is dominating at the same time.
The high demand on the corporate software, including resource management systems of the enterprise (ERP), management system for supply chains (SCM), product lifecycle management system (PLM), HR-applications (HRM), data management system and the business analysts (BI) promoting increase in profitability, efficiency and competitiveness of the enterprises also is a good omen for the market of system integration.
Special attention of the company to optimization of strategy of the data centers (DPC) will create demand for integration of IT infrastructure in addition to demand for application integration.
At the same time, as business will move even more often towards a convergent IT environment, the problem of extraction of the maximum profit on infrastructure will become general, and system integration will become the main instrument of achievement of this purpose. Need of creation of convergent network infrastructure, scalable, reliable and cost-efficient, will demand integration of solutions of different product providers and technologies that besides will support the market of system integration.
In the report it is said that application development will become the most perspective of segments in the predicted period: it will grow for more than 5% annually.
Among world system integrators with the greatest market share Accenture, Capgemini, Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC), Fujitsu, HP, Hitachi, IBM, Infosys Technologies, Oracle, SAP SE, T-Systems, Wipro and others are called.
