Stars
Cloud managed services
Cloud managed services sit in Stars: market leadership in high-growth cloud spend with AWS at 32.1% and Azure at 23.6% of IaaS/PaaS market (Gartner 2024), driving rapid workload migrations and continuous governance demand. Insight’s scale and certifications sustain a full pipeline and shift revenue mix toward higher-margin managed services. Ongoing investment in talent, automation, and multi-cloud tooling is critical to sustain growth.
Cybersecurity services
Threats are exploding and boards are sharply increasing spend, with global cybersecurity budgets expected to exceed $200B in 2024; Insight’s security assessments, MDR, and zero-trust builds are capturing larger multi‑year contracts. Strong vendor ties and 24/7 coverage position Insight as a category leader, driving higher retention and ARR. Double down on SOC expansion and verticalized playbooks to scale wins.
Modern workplace & collaboration
Hybrid work isn’t going away; it’s maturing, with enterprises in 2024 keeping flexible models while investing in collaboration stacks. Insight bundles devices, Microsoft 365 (≈345M commercial seats 2024), Teams (≈280M MAU 2024) and adoption services into sticky programs that meet a big installed base and continuous change-management needs. Accelerate with AI copilot rollouts and usage analytics to drive adoption and measurable productivity gains.
Data & AI services
Insight's Data & AI services are Stars: client demand for analytics and AI that ship is converting pilots into scaled platforms in 2024, with rapid adoption across enterprise accounts. Growth is strong but cash intensity is high for talent and IP; invest aggressively in accelerators and reference architectures to lock-in scale.
- convert pilots→platforms
- high growth, high cash burn
- invest in accelerators & refs
Cloud migration & platform engineering
Cloud migration and platform engineering remain a Stars quadrant: enterprises continue refactoring to PaaS and Kubernetes as app portfolios modernize, with CNCF reporting 96% container use and 92% Kubernetes adoption in 2023. Insight’s repeatable frameworks shorten timelines and reduce risk, accelerating time-to-value. Gartner forecasts worldwide public cloud services spending rising ~20.7% to $624.3B in 2024, sustaining high market growth. Fund platform teams and SRE to capture expansion.
- High adoption: CNCF 2023 — 96% containers, 92% Kubernetes
- Market size: Gartner 2024 — public cloud services ~$624.3B (+20.7%)
- Action: Scale platform teams and SRE to lock in expansion
- Benefit: Repeatable frameworks cut risk and speed time-to-value
Cloud MSPs, Security & Platform Engineering - drive higher-margin migrations and ARR
Cloud managed services are Stars: AWS 32.1% / Azure 23.6% IaaS/PaaS (Gartner 2024) driving migrations and higher-margin managed revenue.
Security and Data&AI are Stars: cyber budgets >$200B (2024) and pilots converting to platforms; prioritize SOC, accelerators, talent.
Platform engineering stays Star: public cloud services ~$624.3B (+20.7%) 2024; CNCF 96% containers, 92% K8s (2023); fund SRE.
| Metric | 2024 | Implication |
|---|---|---|
| AWS/Azure share | 32.1% / 23.6% | Lead in cloud MSP demand |
| Cloud spend | $624.3B (+20.7%) | High TAM |
| Cyber budgets | >$200B | Scale security ARR |

Cash Cows
Hardware procurement & fulfillment
Hardware procurement & fulfillment is a Cash Cow: massive volume in a mature market drove Insight to FY2024 revenue of $11.5B, delivering reliable low-single-digit to mid-single-digit operating margins at scale. Insight’s logistics, regional configuration centers, and supplier leverage convert volume into steady cashflow. Low promotional spend versus return keeps ROI high, and automation plus tighter inventory turns raise efficiency and free working capital.
Software licensing & renewals
Software licensing and renewals deliver steady, predictable cash—enterprise renewal rates averaged about 90% in 2024, translating to high visibility. Deep publisher relationships keep churn low (~8% annually) and drive cross-sell, supporting modest top-line growth (~4% y/y) while contributing solid margins (SaaS gross margins ~75% in 2024). Maintain service wrap and simplify renewals to protect share.
Device lifecycle services
Device lifecycle services—provisioning, depot repair, and asset recovery—run on repeatable motions and serve sticky fleets often exceeding 10,000 devices in public sector and enterprise accounts. In 2024 demand stayed mature with predictable renewal cycles, enabling strong operational leverage and steady cash generation. Optimize tools and SLAs to expand wallet share without heavy incremental capital.
Managed network & infrastructure
Managed network & infrastructure in the Insight BCG Matrix drives recurring run-state revenue from stable attach rates within a $260B managed services market in 2024; mature tech stacks, clear KPIs and low churn (about 6% in 2024) support predictable cash flow. Upselling security and observability can lift ARPU ~18% while focusing on 99.99% uptime, automation and contract extensions preserves value and renewal rates (~88% in 2024).
- market_2024: $260B
- churn_2024: 6%
- ARPU_uplift_from_upsell: 18%
- SLA_target: 99.99%
- renewal_rate_2024: 88%
Public sector & education contracts
Large framework agreements in public sector and education commonly run 3–5 years with routine extensions, and public procurement represents roughly 12% of GDP in OECD economies, underpinning predictable volume. Pricing is tight, but long tenure and high renewal rates produce dependable cashflow from endpoints, licensing, and support. Maintain compliance excellence and repeatable scale playbooks to protect margins and renewal velocity.
- renewal-cycle: 3–5 years
- volume-driven cash: dependable despite tight pricing
- demand: endpoints, licensing, support remain steady
- ops-focus: compliance excellence + scale playbooks
Hardware, renewals & managed services: steady cashflow, ~90%
Hardware procurement, software renewals, device lifecycle and managed infrastructure are Insight Cash Cows in 2024, producing steady low- to mid-single-digit to mid-single-digit margins and reliable cashflow. Enterprise software renewals ~90% with ~8% churn; managed services churn ~6% and ARPU uplift ~18% from upsells.
| Metric | 2024 |
|---|---|
| Revenue (FY2024) | $11.5B |
| SW renewals | 90% |
| Churn | 8% / 6% |
| ARPU uplift | 18% |
