This document provides details of market maturity and usage of the services along with strategic investments to support enterprises' needs and expectations and then concludes with IDC's essential guidance to help managed SPs optimize market opportunities."The combination of the nascent adoption of managed services to support IT environments in provisioning 5G capabilities and customer concern over lack of maturity of 5G technologies and the costs to support these technologies is creating a steep barrier for managed SPs in driving market opportunities," says David Tapper, program VP, Outsourcing and Managed Cloud Services at IDC.
