Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

The move to IP and mobility commands the most attention and spending at European enterprises in 2006; related security concerns are also important. In 2006, more than 40% of companies will increase their spending on SSL and IPSec equipment, and about half of the firms interviewed plan to increase their spending on IP telephony and/or site-to-site VoIP. Many companies have adopted these newer technologies and are now looking to fully deploy MPLS IP VPNs in the WAN — albeit slowly. Enterprise mobility rollout so far has focused on simple SMS alerts and personal information management (PIM) applications and wireless email. Europeans firms' attitudes toward using managed telecommunication services remain positive, especially for network security. This is good news for telcos: The majority of enterprises would look to their service provider to provide managed network services.
