Research Group Updates Key Research Into
The Branch Office Information Technology Market
Los Altos,
Calif., September 15, 2005 – Internet Research Group (IRG) today
announced the release of its updated report on the branch office IT market
landscape.
“Enterprises
care more and more about their branch office because that’s where they meet
their customers,” noted John Katsaros, co-founder of IRG. “And
re-engineering the computing and communications technology for the branch is
a key ongoing challenge in enterprise IT deployment. An enterprise needs to
assure excellent application service to the branch office while at the same
time simplifying and cost-reducing IT. Satisfying these two apparently
conflicting goals creates the energy in these exciting markets.”
This new
study, titled The 2005 Branch Office IT Market Landscape Report, details the
applications, technologies and market segments that matter most as
enterprises re-configure their branch office networks. The focus on this
study is the identification of the market segments that operate the majority
of the branch offices in the US and the overall IT spending motivations
across these market segments.
This evolving
category of products and services—what IRG calls the Branch Office
Subsystems Market—is one of the most lucrative future networking markets.
There are approximately 5.7 million businesses in the US employing 112
million people at 7.2 million locations. This translates to roughly 1.5
million remote offices, mostly operated by large companies.
