2Q20
At a GlanceGlobal Combined Market
Combined Market ACV fell nearly 5% Y/Y;
Managed Services was weaker during the first half
of the quarter, declining 16% Y/Y; As-a-Service ACV
improved 7% with IaaS growth offsetting softer
SaaS results
Impact of COVID-19
COVID impact highlighted at end of March
worsened in April; businesses began to slowly
emerge in May and June from the lockdown but
with a digital mandate; the pandemic has
accelerated digital business initiatives
Regional Perspective
The Americas was up based on a very weak
comparison with 2Q19 while EMEA and Asia Pacific
fell as Managed Services and SaaS weighed on
results; IaaS growth, while still positive, slowed to
just over 10% with the three largest hyperscalers
continuing to outpace the market
