Stars
With global cybersecurity spending near $188B in 2024 (IDC), managed services are in high demand and ePlus sits squarely in the thick of it with assessments, integration and 24x7 coverage. Strong vendor alliances and recurring revenue keep the flywheel spinning. Continued investment in talent, MDR/XDR and incident response is critical to hold share; done right this can mature into a cash cow as growth normalizes.
Enterprises continue moving workloads, modernizing apps, and tightening governance as public cloud spend topped $600B in 2024, driving demand for hybrid solutions. ePlus wins when it pairs cloud architecture with built-in security and FinOps guardrails to reduce risk and control costs. Double down on solution accelerators and reference designs to speed outcomes and capture share. Sustain share now to harvest later as cloud growth normalizes.
Refresh cycles and AI/ML needs are driving large-ticket data center projects, with AI-related infrastructure representing roughly half of high-end refresh spend in 2024; ePlus can lead with GPU-ready stacks, dense NVMe storage, and converged networking mapped to real use cases. Invest in certified architects and validated blueprints to sustain deal velocity and keep momentum. Hold the line on services attach to protect higher-margin outcomes and cement leadership.
SASE/Zero Trust rollouts
Network and security are converging rapidly; customers ask for simplified, policy-driven access and measurable risk reduction, and SASE/Zero Trust rollouts are prime Stars in ePlus BCG terms. Market forecasts show ~27% CAGR for SASE (2024–2030) and enterprise Zero Trust adoption rose to about 46% in 2024, validating scale-up investments. ePlus can convert wins into annuity by packaging assessment → design → managed run and allocating resources now to lock long-term recurring revenue.

- Tag: 46%_adoption_2024
Managed collaboration & secure remote work
Hybrid work remained sticky in 2024, with over 50% of knowledge workers on hybrid schedules, so ePlus can lead by consolidating platforms, hardening security, and committing to user-experience SLAs to differentiate in a market where cloud and security managed services approached $200B in 2024.
- Lead: platform consolidation
- Secure: zero trust + hardening
- Measure: analytics + adoption services
- Govern: ongoing policy & SLAs
- Goal: convert share to recurring cash
ePlus Stars—SASE/Zero Trust, cloud-secure platforms, AI-ready infra, and managed security—are driving high-growth, recurring revenue backed by 2024 market signals. Cybersecurity services hit ~$188B in 2024 and public cloud spend ~$600B, with SASE/Zero Trust showing ~27% CAGR and ~46% adoption in 2024. Invest in talent, packaged runbooks, and attach rates to convert growth into annuity.

|---|---|---|
| Cybersecurity/MSP | $188B | Market size |
| Public Cloud | $600B | Market size |

What is included in the product
In-depth BCG review of ePlus products, mapping Stars, Cash Cows, Question Marks and Dogs with invest/hold/divest guidance.
One-page ePlus BCG Matrix that maps units to quadrants, removes decision friction and exports clean slides for C-suite decks.
Cash Cows
Networking integration & lifecycle sits in a mature market with refresh cycles of roughly 3–5 years and deep vendor certifications that sustain recurring revenue. High-margin services around design, deployment and support—often 20–35% gross margin—keep cash flowing and fund operations. Optimizing delivery, renewals and spares programs reduces cost-to-serve and improves renewal rates. Milk the installed base while upselling security and automation to expand wallet share.
Maintenance renewals and managed services deliver classic annuity revenue with predictable gross margins ~25–35% in 2024, funding stability for ePlus. Automation and standardized runbooks cut run costs roughly 20–30%, protecting profitability. Keep annual churn under 8% via tight SLAs and quarterly value reviews. Deploy surplus cash to fund higher-growth bets and strategic R&D investments.
The land grab for UC platforms is over; in 2024 the UCaaS market was roughly $30B, so ePlus shifts to optimize, standardize, and renew existing footprints. ePlus can harvest predictable revenue via upgrades, license renewals, and adoption services while streamlining delivery and bundling care plans to protect margins. Cross-selling security and compliance lifts ARPU and converts maintenance into higher-margin managed services.
Data center hardware resale with services attach
Data center hardware resale remains a stable cash cow for ePlus: core switch and storage replacement sales slow but continuous, underpinning recurring margins; ePlus reported approximately $1.18B revenue in FY2024, with infrastructure resale contributing a meaningful portion of gross profit. Strong vendor ties and volume pricing yield reliable contribution; tightening deal governance to mandate services attach will raise blended margin and ARR. Use this steady cash flow to underwrite new solution development and go-to-market pilots.
- Core gear still moves, just slower
- Vendor ties + volume pricing = reliable contribution
- Enforce services attach on every box
- Leverage resale revenue to fund new solutions
Asset lifecycle/IT procurement programs
Asset lifecycle and IT procurement programs are stable, sticky cash cows for ePlus: procurement ops, cataloging, and device lifecycle show low growth but deliver high renewal rates (often >90% in 2024) when executed well. Keep portals efficient and reporting crisp to defend share; predictable margins from these programs fund strategic initiatives and M&A.
- Procurement ops: predictable, low-growth revenue
- Renewals: >90% (2024 industry-observed)
- Defense: efficient portals + crisp reporting
- Use of cash: funds strategic initiatives
ePlus cash cows—networking, maintenance, UCaaS optimization, resale and procurement—produce steady annuity revenue (~25–35% gross margin) and supported FY2024 revenue of ~$1.18B. Renewal rates >90% for procurement, churn <8% for managed services, and UCaaS market size ~$30B sustain cash generation. Prioritize services attach, renewals, and operational automation to fund growth bets.
| Metric | 2024 |
|---|---|
| ePlus revenue | $1.18B |
| Gross margin (services) | 25–35% |
| Procurement renewals | >90% |
| Managed churn | <8% |
| UCaaS market | $30B |
