澳大利亚悉尼, May 16, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — 根据全球领先的技术研究和咨询公司Information Services Group（ISG）（Nasdaq：III）的最新行业状况报告显示，即使应对新冠肺炎疫情导致对托管服务的需求骤降，但亚太地区对基于云的即服务解决方案的需求在第一季度仍创记录地大幅飙升。通过500万美元或以上年度合同价值（ACV）衡量商业外包合同的ISG Index™发现，亚太地区的即服务市场大涨25%，该季度达到创纪录的17亿美元，而托管服务则下跌27%，降至5.22亿美元。这两个细分市场合计增长8%，达到22亿美元。即服务连续第二个季度占据该地区合并市场的75%以上。尽管第一季度中国存在一些疫情相关的需求制约，但由于基础设施即服务（IaaS）需求强劲攀升32%，达到创纪录的15亿美元，即服务采购大幅增长。与此同时，对软件即服务（SaaS）的需求疲软，ACV价值仅为2.13亿美元，相比2019年第一季度下跌8%。虽然与去年第一季度相比，托管服务有所下降，但相比2019年第四季度的疲软水平，仍然上涨了26%。在托管服务中，第一季度对以下方面的需求同样疲软，信息技术外包（ITO）需求下降27%至4.38亿美元，业务流程外包（BPO）需求下降26%至8400万美元。本季度，大部分主要市场的需求都有所下跌，但澳大利亚-新西兰除外，该地区相比年前疲软的季度有所上升，打破了连续三个季度的下跌。“随着越来越多的企业将工作负载转移到公共云或混合云环境，我们将会看到IaaS细分市场继续增长，”ISG亚太地区合伙人兼负责人Scott Bertch表示。“另一方面，对托管服务的需求相比去年第一季度的强劲表现来说较为疲软，出现因疫情导致的衰退。”Bertsch指出，过去一个季度，澳大利亚-新西兰是一个亮点，在制造业、消费品包装和商业服务行业坚实需求的推动下，ACV价值达到1.49亿美元，增长了33%。“幸运的是，与世界其他地区相比，新冠肺炎疫情（COVID-19）在澳大利亚-新西兰的影响趋缓，”他表示。连续12个月的表现在过去12个月，即服务细分市场的地区ACV增长了19.4%，达到57亿美元，占综合市场的69%，而托管服务的ACV下降5.8%至26亿美元，尽管中国和印度市场表现强劲。在即服务细分市场内，随着对公共云需求的激增，...
