Critical Year for Utility ServicesCritical Year for Utility ServicesHosting has existed for a few years. Challenge will be to drive richer implementations and greater investment.Key message might be that ebusiness is a strong way to attract new customers at a lower costNot all are convinced that Utility has value. Some suggest everycustomer wants customization when purchasing services.Can utility service providers deliver “mass customization” that provides unique value add?Utility seems to be a compelling offering as an infrastructure service where customers purchase computing power based on performance, reliability, availability, application and businessprocess support. Does this demand high customization?Are the right customers being targeted? Small business could benefit enormously, but few service providers want to engage these customers.

Utility – Pros and ConsUtility – Pros and Cons
Utility presents a real alternative to outsourcing:More selective A real option for small/medium businessPay as you go – pay for what you use. No long-term contractIT infrastructure as a “utility” seems inevitable
But there are doubters:Traditional O/S companies will say it doesn’t work, but the truth is many aren’t interested in serving the medium/small business market.Traditional communication service companies should be pretty good at this. The model fits their businesses
ThoughtsThoughtsIt’s now about business transformation, not simply cost savings
Trust is an essential element and service providers will be working to figure out what that is and how to turn that into a value differentiator
When budgets are tight, then companies start looking more closely at the value of outsourcing
Technology may be core to your business, but is the day-to-day operation of IT essential?Likewise with business functions – the things that might be handed off are the operational aspects of HR, finance and accounting, logistics, and customer care
ThoughtsThoughtsIf a customer does not have a clear understanding of IT costs, then they should not outsource.
Is there a trend towards dealing with advisors and brokers? Would they be helpful to you?
General rule in outsourcing is have an exist strategy:- Are you equipped to take over when the contract expires- Be vigilant in measuring performance and value
What’s in store for IT service providers in 2003?- Are telcos still targeting IT services? There’s evidence to
suggest some are looking to retrench into familiar territory. Bell, Aliant (want to sell xwave), Telus.
