Remote Infrastructure Management Courses
Course Objective:
A new thrust by global IT companies, players in the IT infrastructure management space could see India becoming the nerve centre of the world’s networks, at least on the maintenance side.
Thanks to the Indian software and hardware services players, today there are a numerous opportunity almost equal in size to the entire global software services industry that’s looking into IT infrastructure services. The opportunity is ‘infrastructure management outsourcing’ and represents a massive billion market virtually untapped or which has seen certain very critical players. While this market is still a tough one to crack and remains dominated by global giants, offshore expertise in this market is under tremendous requirement.
There are three categories of services. The first segment is system integrations, which includes packaged application implementation, custom application development and integration. The second segment is application outsourcing, which includes support and maintenance services. The third segment is IT consulting, which includes strategic consulting, business process consulting and change management.
While infrastructure outsourcing has typically been a game for large vendors, recent trends have shown that demand is also coming from small and mediumsized firms. Additionally, one more important trend that could be key for Indian firms is the price advantage. While Indian vendors have always aimed at moving up the value chain to command higher margins, the reality is that few Indian vendors have made even a dent in the IT consulting space. This is where the move into infrastructure management outsourcing can be beneficial to Indian players as this is not only a huge untapped market, but more importantly, a market which is a bigger spend area for customers than application development is.
While very few Indian companies train students in this arena and at the same time none provide them a degree. Details of this trend are provided herewith.
