Enterprise Services

Overview

This programme looks at opportunities for telecoms operators, and the vendors that support them, to sell solutions to large businesses and public sector organisations (with 250 or more employees). It assesses how technology advances are affecting business connectivity and explores options for operators to sell ‘beyond-connectivity’ services including security, cloud, managed services and AI-enabled solutions. The programme includes country-level market forecasts for enterprise connectivity and IT services.

Some of our main research and insights are linked here.
