DALLAS, Feb. 23, 2010 – ProBenchmark announced today that it has released its latest white paper, From Managed Services to Segmented Pricing: Declining Prices, Thinning Services…What Happened to the Savings?, available online for qualified professionals involved in outsourcing, shared services, and benchmarking.
“We are seeing a continual downward trend in most IT services pricing,” said Howard Davies, Director, ProBenchmark. “However, buyers need to look closely at the total cost, not just unit prices.
“Today’s pricing model is moving toward a model that is similar to the way a new car is priced, with the options (major price drivers) added on top of a stripped model (base services charge).”
The paper looks at significant changes in two areas, desktop and service towers, and gives a detailed account of the changes these towers are undergoing and what these changes mean for IT buyers.
These and other trends in IT pricing will be further discussed in a ProBenchmark eSeminar: Q1 2010 IT Pricing Trends: Past, Present, Predicted, on March 4 at 11 a.m. For registration, please click here. Those unable to attend can use the registration link to view an on-demand archive of the webinar, which will be available after the eSeminar has been conducted.
“These trends and observations allow organizations to make informed, quality decisions to gain market leadership,” Davies said.
