Market Trends of Managed Testing Services Industry
Healthcare to Witness the Highest Growth
- The business model for health care is going through a big change toward a system that puts the patient first and focuses on prevention and better care.With the growing need for interoperability, regulatory compliance, and end-user technology (mobile, different OS) compliance, testing healthcare apps now takes a lot of technical skill, a lot of time, and a lot of money.For example, Cigniti, which is based in India, helps hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, healthcare services, clinical labs, diagnostic centers, third-party administrators (TPAs), payers, medical equipment manufacturers, healthcare independent software vendors (ISVs), and research organizations test their healthcare and life sciences software.
- Citius Tech, based in New Jersey, provides several types of testing for the healthcare business. Some of them are functional testing tests of healthcare workflows across the enterprise, such as IHE and HITSP. Medical Imaging Testing uses test automation tools like MESA, DVTK, and Mirth that are made for medical imaging.They are looking for things like Meaningful Use, HIPAA, FDA, and VA requirements for security and frameworks in the health care industry.Interoperability Testing: Testing conformance to interoperability standards such as HL7, FHIR, DICOM, NCPDP, and CCD/CDA using industry-standard testing tools
- Microsoft Corp. also said that cloud technologies for healthcare and life sciences are getting better. For example, Azure Health Data Services and updates to Microsoft Cloud for Healthcare are now available to everyone.With the recent purchase of Nuance Communications, Microsoft is in a unique position to help organizations help more people by using trusted AI to solve the most pressing problems. This will change the future of healthcare for everyone.
- Furthermore, the health industry has undergone a rapid digital transformation over the last two years. Microsoft Cloud released software for healthcare last year to help the industry deal with problems like clinician burnout, giving patients more personalized care, and making it easier for health data to be shared between different systems.
- Microsoft keeps delivering on its healthcare strategy, which helps improve patient engagement and clinician experiences, improves clinical and operational insights, and makes it easier for health teams to work together. Microsoft Cloud for Healthcare uses cutting-edge solutions from all over the company to make a strong, integrated, and complete cloud service.
North America to Dominate the Market. IT and Telecom Sector Expected to Hold a Significant Market Share
- North America is the fastest-growing and largest market since many global companies are expanding their footprint in this region.
- The North American market is expanding due to the changing IT infrastructure landscape, particularly in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which are increasingly focusing on outsourcing cybersecurity solutions. For instance, KPaul Properties LLC, one of the United States' emerging manufacturers and distributors of IT supplies, partnered with Fujitsu to replace a physical server with a virtualized environment. This reduced the company's costs by about 15% while providing 95% uptime.
- Due to the high rate of various technological adoptions, increased rate of adoption of the BYOD policy (to make business operations much more comfortable and controllable), and increased need for high-end security due to rapidly growing data volumes in organizations, the IT and telecom sector is a significant market for managed services.
- The telecom industry has seen growth in recent years, as telecommunication companies face constant pressure to deliver innovative services at lower costs to retain customers in a competitive market. Managed services have become a common demand for operators to address a complex and competitive environment.
- Furthermore, due to their compelling economic case, most telecom carriers are expected to replace their network hardware with software. Significant factors driving demand for SDN and NFV include shorter time-to-market, lower CAPEX and OPEX, and the creation of new revenue streams. All of these factors are expected to drive the market's growth. Such initiatives are increasing the demand for managed network services.
- Many SD-WAN-managed service providers in North America distinguish themselves by providing a wide range of security services. For instance, Cato Networks provides a cloud-native platform with NGFW, Secure Web Gateway, Advanced Threat Prevention, Cloud and Mobile Access Protection, and Managed Threat Detection and Response. Colt offers a Layer 7 firewall or a Layer 3/4 stateful firewall with DDoS protection, and CenturyLink offers an Adaptive Network Security suite of security services. For instance, in February 2022, Verizon Business announced the inclusion of VMware to Verizon's Managed WAN Service's global managed Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) service portfolio.
