澳大利亚悉尼, Aug. 20, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — 全球领先的技术研究和顾问公司Information Services Group（ISG）（Nasdaq: III）的最新行业状况报告显示，因托管服务受新冠肺炎疫情影响而下滑，按合同价值计全球外包规模最小的亚太地区在第二季度出现行业最大降幅。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™显示，因为对疫情的担忧以及很难与去年第二季度的创纪录高点比较，该地区的合并市场（托管服务和基于云的即服务）与去年相比下降24%，降至19亿美元。市场全面下滑，托管服务暴跌47%，降至5.29亿美元，其中IT外包（ITO）下跌42%，降至4.77亿美元，业务流程外包（BPO）下跌71%，降至5200万美元。即服务降幅稍缓，与去年相比下降了9%，降至14亿美元。其中，基础设施即服务（IaaS）下降7%，降至12亿美元，而软件即服务（SaaS）下降23%，降至1.65亿美元。通常作为该地区增长推动因素的即服务经历了2018年第四季度以来最疲软的一个季度。“在亚太地区，考虑到市场的相对规模，我们预计全年业绩将呈不均衡态势，而即服务将使该地区总体保持上行， 但本季度的情况并非如此，”ISG亚太地区合伙人和地区负责人Scott Bertsch表示。“疫情对该地区造成了影响，交易活动放缓，合并市场较第一季度下跌16%。尽管如此，仍有一些值得注意的交易，包括Bharti Airtel选择IBM和Red Hat来构建其新的Telco网络云。”上半年表现上半年，亚太地区合并市场ACV与上一年相比下降了11%。因缺少大额交易，托管服务ACV下降39%。ITO录得2010年以来最疲弱的上半年ACV。在此细分市场内，应用程序开发和维护（ADM）以及基础设施ACV均急剧下降。以往只是亚太地区一个较小细分市场的BPO，其ACV上半年猛跌54%。上半年，托管服务ACV在所有主要地区市场均有所下降。与此同时，即服务在上半年上涨近5%，但相比2019年上半年27%的增长率，增长速度放缓。尽管增长率有所下降，但IaaS继续显示出实力，而SaaS...
