Review Mapping Solution Priorities in Western European SMBs / IDC Research:

This study exhibits the results of IDC's European Vertical Market Survey, carried out in March/April 2005 in the top 5 Western European countries (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the U. K. ) among 728 SMBs with between 20 and 499 employees. The survey analyzes SMBs' IT spending directions, solution priorities, level of adoption of Web interfaces, and future investment plans. Different solution areas such as ERP, CRM, industry-specific applications, supply chain applications, collaborative tools, content/document management, and many others are analyzed by company size, country, and vertical market. Results are given for the top 5 Western European countries in the following vertical markets: banking; insurance and other finance; discrete manufacturing; process manufacturing; healthcare services; transport, telecommunications, media, and utilities; retail and wholesale; business services; education; and government. "For 2005, security, industry-specific solutions, and content/document management emerge as the three most relevant priorities among SMBs. Security remains the top ranked priority. This, coupled with the fact that security is already the most adopted solution, highlights SMBs' concerns regarding security issues," said Laura Converso, senior research analyst with IDC's European Small and Medium Business service.

This IDC study presents an updated forecast (2005–2009) compiled in the first quarter of 2005 for U. S. information technology spending within 17 vertical markets. The purpose of this document is to identify and quantify the effects of recent trends and events influencing the IT opportunity among 17 vertical markets from 2005 to 2009. "The U. S. IT market is expected to reach $518. 1 billion in 2009, driven by government, discrete manufacturing, and banking. The consumer sector has interesting dynamics — the consumers spending on IT services, peripherals, and PCs are expediting double-digit growth. The size of its potential will be even larger than banking in the longer term. [+]
IT vendors should watch this sector closely," says Anne Lu, program manager, Worldwide Vertical Markets.

Review Western European Network Connectivity Forecast and Analysis, 2005-2009 / IDC Research:

This IDC study provides Western European network interface card (NIC), LOM, and Mini PCI shipment data for 2004 and compares it with 2003 data. NIC shipments are further split by vendor market share, country, and technology. This study also contains a detailed forecast of the network connectivity market in Western Europe for 2005–2009 by technology and form factor, as well as historical data for 2004. The network connectivity forecast is segmented into forecasts representing the total network connectivity market in Western Europe — meaning all form factors, such as network interface card (NIC), LAN on Motherboard (LOM), and Mini PCI — and forecasts representing figures for NIC cards only. Detailed country forecasts of network connectivity shipments and revenue by technology, along with total installed base figures, are also provided. Countries include Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Italy, Ireland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Switzerland, Austria, Spain, Portugal, and Greece. Technologies include 10 Mbps Ethernet, 10/100 Mbps Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, and WLAN. "The number of add-on cards will decrease throughout the forecast period and will mainly be used for new technologies or to upgrade the installed base of laptops and desktops to newer technologies. While add-on cards still accounted for 14% of the newly shipped network connections in 2004, by the end of 2009 this share will only be 4%" said Evelien Wiggers, IDC senior research analyst, European Telecommunications and Networking.

Review Worldwide Offshore IT Services 2005-2009 Forecast / IDC Research:

This IDC study answers the following questions: What are IDC's predictions and assumptions relating to market forces impacting the offshore IT services market, and what impact will they have on the market forecasts? Which assumptions are of sufficient importance that a change in the assumption would result in a change in the market forecasts? What impact will developments in this market have on the players in the market? How might the development predicted in this market impact the revenue of the players? What are the not-to-be-missed opportunities? "During the past few years, the offshore delivery of IT services has rapidly evolved from a destination for low-end, low-cost services to an integral part of most vendors' service delivery strategies. Given that offshore is generally considered a standard part of most any IT services contract, vendors will need to further distinguish themselves by growing their global delivery capabilities and building a broader range of transformational services. It is only through this maturation process that offshore vendors will continue to enjoy the extraordinary growth rates of the first half of this decade," said Barry Mason, senior analyst for Application Outsourcing and Offshore Services at IDC.

Review Asia/Pacific (Excluding Japan) Security Appliance 2004 Review and 2005-2009 Forecast / IDC Research:

This IDC study provides the revenue forecast for Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan) or APEJ security appliance by country and by function for a five-year period, 2005 to 2009, as well as a 2004 year-end review. It presents the APEJ region's 2004 competitive landscape by function, and highlights the major growth drivers and inhibitors for the various countries in the region. "Enterprises used to view security simply as an overhead cost to their respective businesses. The growing awareness of the complexity of security issues, coupled with the increasing risks of phishing and spyware, among other threats, points to a trend in which organizations are increasingly becoming concerned about their security needs and are thus investing to mitigate risks and to protect their revenues and profitability. Therefore, to address existing and evolving threats, security appliance vendors need to collaborate with multiple parties ranging from software, applications, to technology providers. Over the next few years, SMBs will become a focal point for vendors, as the additional capabilities being incorporated into the unified threat management (UTM) appliance will help them make a stronger sales pitch to these customers," says Grace Yeo, research manager, Communications Research, IDC Asia/Pacific.

Review European Infrastructure Management Services Market, Forecast and Analysis, 2005-2009 / IDC Research:

This IDC study is designed to give an update of the current infrastructure management services market in Europe. It constitutes a follow up to the European infrastructure management services forecast and analysis study published in 2004 (Doc #R103L, April 2004). The study provides sizing of the Western European infrastructure management services market from 2004 to 2009, as well as the key trends and assumptions for the development of the market in this period. The study further provides a breakdown of this market in six individual segments: application management, network consulting and integration, IS outsourcing, desktop and network management, hardware support and deploy, and software support and deploy. The different market strategies in place within the $89 billion market are highlighted, and IDC presents the main actions to consider in order to succeed in the market. "Infrastructure services forms an important part of the IT services market. The market is mature, yet keeps throwing challenges to all involved. Positioning strategy and partnering will be key essentials for players wanting to keep up with and survive within this constantly evolving market," says Janine Jadnanansing, research analyst for IDC's European Infrastructure Management Services research.

Review Asia/Pacific (Excluding Japan) Network Management Software 2005-2009 Forecast and 2004 Vendor Shares / IDC Research:

This IDC study provides a bottom-up sizing of the Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan) (APEJ) network management system (NMS) market in 2004 and a 2005–2009 forecast for this market. Historical and forecast revenue data is shown for the total APEJ market by functional market and country. "The overall growth rates in the APEJ market may not seem impressive. However, IDC expects high growth rates in India and China. Many companies are stretching their good-enough network management tools to support increasingly sophisticated needs. The peak in growth will come about when the existing infrastructure can no longer be incrementally upgraded to meet business requirements," says Willie Low, market analyst, IDC Infrastructure Software, IDC Asia/Pacific. "Technology enhancements in chips and server hardware, combined with end-user requirements to simplify and lower the operating costs of rapidly expanding datacenters, underpin server and network consolidation and, subsequently, NMS growth," says Vivian Tero, senior analyst, Asia/Pacific Infrastructure Software research at IDC. "NMS vendors are advised to consider their target customers' purchase behavior and resource constraints when planning their go-to-market strategies in APEJ. There is a small segment of SMBs in APEJ whose business models are highly reliant on the availability and performance of their networks. In addition to addressing the target firm's capital budget requirements, a vendor's messages should focus on how the NMS solution will provide the firm with a tactical advantage over its competition. [+]
Due to the differences in technology maturity, end users across the region have an opportunity to leapfrog technology and take a strategic approach to building out their network (assuming that technology skills and financial resources are not major issues). Vendors have an opportunity to be the trusted advisor to the end user. ".

This IDC study reviews the systems integration (SI) services market in Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan) or APEJ in 2004. In addition, this study assesses and forecasts the market opportunity for the SI markets in APEJ given IDC's predictions and assumptions of factors that impact the IT services market in the region. IT spending sentiment has finally revived to positive mark. An end-user survey has shown clear signs that enterprises are increasing the overall IT expenditure.

Review Worldwide Switch and Router 2005-2009 Forecast: Direct/Indirect Channel Sales / IDC Research:

This IDC study provides distribution information useful for planning and forecasting worldwide switch and router growth by channel. In this increasingly competitive market, vendors need to be proactive and creative in maintaining and growing their market share within all channels. This study identifies the areas of greatest channel growth, informing readers of areas for increased channel development through IDC's distribution channel forecasts for the worldwide switch and router market from 2005 to 2009. "The indirect sales channel continues to be the most effective vehicle for the sale of switches, routers, and a host of other networking gear," explained Ken Presti, research director of IDC's Network Channels and Alliances service. "Nonetheless, the effects of commoditization offer compelling opportunities for creative approaches — especially at the edge of the network, where products become increasingly plug-and-play. ".

Review Western European IT Offshore Services Forecast, 2004-2009 / IDC Research:

This IDC study answers the following questions: What are IDC's predictions and assumptions relating to market forces affecting the delivery of offshore services into the Western European IT services market, and what impact will they have on the market forecasts? What is the size of IT services import in Western Europe in 2005 and for the next four years? What are the key recommendations from IDC for maintaining and growing the revenues from delivery of offshore services in the coming years? "After a relatively slow start, European organizations — also outside the U. K. — now seem to be opening up to the use of the global sourcing model," said Marianne Kolding, director for European Services research at IDC. "However, the import of IT services from offshore providers still accounts for only a small proportion of the total IT services market. For the offshore players to make a real impact on the European services market, IDC would expect that major acquisitions would have to happen — particularly since the traditional service providers are rapidly building up their global sourcing capabilities and hence increasing competition. ".
