The managed and consultancy services market is expected to reach $1.28 trillion. The services we get around tech go entirely online, putting critical points at a short-term investment point.

Though data centre systems account for the smallest group by value, the $226 billion valuations represent annual growth of 4.7%. The managed and consultancy IT services is second in line for development but might surpass cloud business if the growth spree continues.

IT services are expected to grow by 7.9% annually to $1.28 trillion. Businesses here increasingly rely on external consultants to improve the cloud infrastructure. John talked about Gartner's expectation and 'the vast majority of large organisations to use external consultants to develop their cloud strategy over the next few years.'
