New Dimensions in Managed Services Delivery
Bill Martorelli – Principal Analyst
December 10, 2018
We work with business and
technology leaders to develop
customer-obsessed strategies
that drive growth.

We have entered the “age of the customer”
Improved EX and reduced costs now vie for top client priority

Key client trends in Next-Generation MSP services
› Shift to cloud is at the heart of digital transformation.
› Clients want partners who can push thinking and innovate quickly.
› Services vendor value propositions too often sound the same –
convergence of creative, consulting, and technology; convergence
of front- and back-office
› Slow erosion of traditional services results in new players that
threaten the former giants
› Growing focus on employee experience as opposed to supplier
performance

Demand for managed services holds up
8© 2017 FORRESTER. REPRODUCTION PROHIBITED.
With at least modest growth for 2019 ahead

What are the top customer challenges?
11© 2017 FORRESTER. REPRODUCTION PROHIBITED.
Why Next-Generation Information Technology (NGITO) outsourcing?
› Conventional Infrastructure technology outsourcing has experienced
customer satisfaction concerns (watermelon effect)
› ITO has not emphasized customer experience and satisfaction
› Cloud transition undermines conventional approach
› Automation is on the verge of redefining the industry
12© 2017 FORRESTER. REPRODUCTION PROHIBITED.
What did we learn?
› Cloud migration and DevOps are morphing the nature of
infrastructure outsourcing
› Workplace services rise in importance as data center exodus
continues
› Customer experience, particularly initial experience, is a sore
spot for customer
› Automation looms large in outsourcing's future, but customers
have doubts

Three Major Factors Influencing the Infrastructure Services Market
› Impact of the cloud
› Impact of automation
› Focus on employee experience
Impact of the Cloud
16© 2017 FORRESTER. REPRODUCTION PROHIBITED.
Cloud has become a principal engine of software development
Source: October 20, 2014, “The Software-Powered Business” , Forrester report
17© 2017 FORRESTER. REPRODUCTION PROHIBITED.
Why cloud? Cloud lies at the heart of digital transformation
18© 2017 FORRESTER. REPRODUCTION PROHIBITED.
Infrastructure services market is continuing to evolve in response to the hybrid cloud opportunity
› Support for hybrid cloud computing tops the infrastructure outsourcing
agenda as focus of ITO delivery shifts to the cloud
› Interoperation of multi-cloud environments looms as major management
challenge-for which existing tooling solutions are inadequate
› Applications and infrastructure towers are slowly converging under
influence of DevOps and consumption-based models
› Era of mass cloud migration begins

Implications on service providers and MSPs
› Contracts grow shorter with erosion of minimum commitments • Risk transfers more to the supplier of services
› Traditional services grow narrower and smaller, but potential for lucrative niches remain throughout life cycle
› Competition from “born in the cloud” MSPs intensifies
› Partnership with large “hyper-scale” cloud providers becomes key go-to-market enabler
Impact of Automation

The yin and yang of automation

Presumed sequence of the automation journey

• Initial focus of Autonomic, Cognitive automation movements
Applications
• Applications focus has emerged but secondarily to infrastructure and BP
Business Process

However, we have a challenge
How do I rationalize my
automation portfolio?
I think my product is config management. Is
it actually release deployment?
What provides a better business
case: chatbots or ML?

Different automation technologies combine to provide a comprehensive view
29© 2017 F O R R ES TER . R EP R O D U C TI O N P R O H I B I TED.
Implications on service providers and MSPs
› Workloads shrink from contract to contract as core ticket administration activities get automated away
› Integration of disparate automation solutions becomes a key competitive requirement
› Nature of service delivery personnel pyramid changes with lower-cost labor automated out
Focus on Employee Experience
31© 2017 FORRESTER. REPRODUCTION PROHIBITED.
Today’s outsourcing reality: Even if service levels are green, customers may be red with rage
Example XLA metrics: employee experience and user sentimentMetric Type Measurement Methodology
Customer Effort Score Customer effort score, usually rated on a scale of time buckets, gathered from the answer to a single question: "How much effort did you personally have to put forth to get your issue resolved?" The responses are marked on a scale of 1 to 5, and are graded as: 1 - Far less than I expected 2 - Slightly less than I expected 3 - About as much as I expected 4 - Slightly more than I expected 5 - lot more than i expected
Same customer/Same Issue (SC/SI)
(Number of repeat tickets for same customer / Total number of tickets raised by that Customer)*100
Context-aware CSAT The User Delight Score (UDS) is a culmination various quantifiable metrics. Often a weighted average rating of Operational parameters and User Experience factors to create a synthetic “Index.”
Meeting experience Lead time to find, book and move to meeting room.
User first day experience Lead time to find parking location, allocated seat, IT and Line manager, etc.)
Example XLA metrics: employee experience and user sentiment
Metric Type Measurement Methodology
% Incident / Service Request deflected/resolved using Automation
% Incident / Service Request deflected/resolved using Automation (IVR Self-help, Mobile Self-help, BOT etc.)
Reduction in Cycle time due to Automation
Reduction in Cycle time due to Automation (F1 = (A-B)/A * 100))
Virtual Assistant Effectiveness Percentage of Chats successfully resolved by VA (F1 = (COUNT(B) / COUNT(A)) * 100)
A = Set of all chats completed in the Measurement Period.B = Subset of A which were fulfilled entirely through “Virtual Assistant
Tickets Reduction Tickets reduced during the measurement period as a result of automation

Implications on service providers and MSPs
› Reliance on SLA mechanism recedes in favor of “XLA” variant
models focusing on customer and employee satisfaction
› Service delivery borrows consumer metaphors like service cafés,
technology lockers and vending machines
› Emphasis shifts to “co-creation” versus transaction model for higher
order consulting, delivery work
Summing Up
36© 2017 FORRESTER. REPRODUCTION PROHIBITED.
Recommendations to lead in next-generation MSP services
› Capitalize on your strengths
• Reliability, value, growing capabilities in Digital and transformation
› Embrace digital and technology firmwide
• Technology-light Technology-led

37© 2017 FORRESTER. REPRODUCTION PROHIBITED.
Winning goes beyond raw capabilities

experience?
› Are you perceived as an innovator?
› Do you have compelling stories to tell?
› Do buyers think you have what it takes to dream…and then
execute?
