Plausible Vendor Scenarios for 2030 That IT Service Providers Should Consider

This IDC Market Perspective describes three plausible scenarios for what the IT services industry might look like in 2030. Service providers can use these scenarios as input to their strategic planning, competitive analysis, and investment planning. IT buyers may also find these scenarios useful for considering how their service providers may evolve over the midterm to long term."Scenario planning has long been a staple of strategic planning for business, and service providers can use these scenarios as an input to their long-range planning as they extend beyond the time frame of what is considered in IDC FutureScape documents," said Gard Little, research vice president, Global Services Market and Trends at IDC.
