Network Managed Services in India
With the rapidly-growing subscriber base, managing infrastructure and networks is becoming increasingly difficult for the service providers. Therefore, many service providers have been outsourcing their infrastructure or network management operations completely or partially.
Managed Services are fast-emerging as an attractive proposition for many enterprises that do not want to dedicate human resources and capital toward acquiring and administering technology infrastructure.
Growth prospects
With increasing incidences of cyber-attacks, zero day attack, malicious malware, SYN flood, etc., India's managed security services market is forecast to witness a double-digit growth through 2019.
The ever-increasing capacity demands and continued cost pressure associated with convergence normally should drive further growth in the market for network managed services, and deliver benefits to CSPs and network equipment providers (NEPs) alike.
Employment prospects
The telecom sector has been growing aggressive at an average for 35 per cent a year for close to two decades. According to experts, India's telecom industry is expected to generate 40 lakh new jobs in the next five years, spurred by growing potential in rural markets and rising Internet penetration, say experts.
According to component manufacturer TE connectivity, the sector has been one of the largest employers in the last decade and would need around 2.75 lakh people by 2015. A large positive impact of these trends would be a surge in demand for Engineers.
