In a new study by Market Connections, Inc. and Professional Services Council (PSC), 70 percent of government IT decision-makers report moderate to high impact of the “convergence” of technology and professional services, or consumption-based “as a service” acquisition approaches, on the government marketplace.
The research study, released today at a PSC/Market Connections event, benchmarks the status of convergence and reveals gaps in adoption and understanding between government and the contractors who serve them. Both government decision-makers and contractors agree that convergence is causing a shift in how government buys and industry provides solutions, yet government respondents reveal significant perceived barriers to adoption such as security risks and cost concerns.
