Review A Focus on Feature Set and Functionality: IDC's 2005 Business Monitor Survey, Part 2 / IDC Research:

This IDC study discusses the survey results of 512 United States–based IS managers regarding their companies' respective PC monitor usage and preferences. Respondents were asked a wide range of questions via an online survey about their current monitor ownership, the factors that affected their past purchase decisions, their future buying plans, and their feature set and technology preferences. The results of this demand-side research are presented in this document. Some of the specific information provided in this document covers topic areas such as the value of a monitor recycling program, sought out feature sets, as well as DVI usage. All considered, IDC believes that as the PC monitor market becomes considerably more competitive, vendors should take notice of coveted services and feature sets offered by other vendors in the market and imitate their behavior. "The pulse of the displays marketplace continues to rise. Those who are in sync with both the concerns and the needs of the enterprise will be able to penetrate the corporate marketplace by offering products and programs that are meaningful to this segment. " — Jennifer Gallo, research analyst, Displays and Projectors Research.

Review Worldwide PC Market: 2Q05 Review / IDC Research:

This IDC study reviews the performance of the worldwide PC market during the second quarter of 2005 (2Q05). The study looks at the market performance of desktop and portable PCs as well as x86 servers in major geographies, including the United States, Western Europe, Japan, Asia/Pacific excluding Japan (APeJ), and the rest of the world (ROW). Details on unit shipments, market value, and average selling prices (ASPs) are provided, along with a review of the competitive performance of the top PC vendors. "The worldwide PC market saw a remarkable surge in growth during the second quarter of 2005, reflecting both underlying demand as well as a dynamic competitive landscape. An abundance of promotions offering low-cost systems helped boost overall volume, particularly in the consumer segment. However, it will be difficult to sustain these growth rates in the foreseeable future particularly because there is a risk of rising cost due to some component shortages and rising oil prices. Inventory management and competitive pricing along with changes in growth by region present both challenges and opportunities to PC vendors. " — David Daoud, analyst, United States Quarterly PC Tracker and Personal Computing Program.

Review Consumer Imaging Survey 2004 / IDC Research:

This end-user survey on the consumer imaging market explores the purchase decision process for digital cameras and home printing equipment, and gives an insight into how consumers' habits are likely to change in the coming one to two years in relation to the capture, storage, sharing, and printing of digital images. The survey analyzes how current purchasing and usage habits are changing in Western Europe with an aim to provide the players and potential players in the industry with an insight into how to effectively target potential customers in this changing digital landscape. The survey was conducted during September 2004 using computer-aided telephone interviewing by native-language speakers. The sample consisted of 540 current owners of digital cameras and home printers in the U. K. , France, Germany, and Sweden, split as below and stratified by age and gender. The survey provides 38 data sets focused around the following topics: What are consumers buying, where, and why? What are consumers doing with their images after capturing and how will this change in the future? Where are consumers printing their images and what would make them print more in the future? What is the profile of home personal photo printer users and what are the winning functions of the devices? "The impact of the digital camera on the photography and photo processing markets has been significant, especially over the last two years where we have seen the digital camera market more than double in size year on year. This rapid change in the landscape has been painful for the less agile vendors and has provided others with great opportunities to capitalize upon in the new digital world. The results of this survey show that there are still great opportunities for growth in the market, particularly in the output side of the digital imaging business, as there is a general satisfaction among European consumers with their home printing devices," said Paul Withington, research manger, Printers and Peripherals Group.

Review ALM Systems 2006-2011 Spending Forecast: Still Keeping to Its Pace / IDC Research:

In this report, we forecast the asset liability management (ALM) systems market from 2006 to 2011. ALM systems are a mature product set, with significant penetration across the financial services industry. These systems are designed to help institutions manage their interest rate, foreign exchange, liquidity, and liability exposures within defined risk and return targets. This decade overall has not been terribly kind to vendors of ALM systems, as the market is quite mature. In fact, of the risk types managed by financial institutions, interest rate risk has the most saturated technology market. And the general economic environment has had a downward impact on both technology budgets and the turnover of asset liability managers and treasurers among institutions. "The core or ALM practices, including earnings and balance sheet simulation, sensitivity analysis, and present and future valuation, have remained the same for many years now," states Debbie Williams, group vice president of the Capital Markets and Risk Management Group at Financial Insights, an IDC company. "But the needs of institutions continue to evolve as the regulatory environment shifts and pent-up demand is met through new functionality and capabilities, especially in areas such as alternative investments and enterprise-level balancing.

Review Canadian Server Workload Analysis and Implications / IDC Research:

As corporations increasingly look for demonstrable value from their IT resources, the alignment of IT resources with business and technical concerns becomes critical to the server purchasing decision process. To that end IDC has undertaken a server workloads analysis to further explore the strong relationship between the workload a server is tasked with and critical attributes that comprise the server, such as platform, size, and processor type. IDC believes that a thorough understanding of this relationship can assist server vendors to effectively target customers with the most appropriate product and solution offerings. Alan Freedman, Research Manager at IDC Canada, states that "Developing effective market strategies based on workloads analysis will promote shorter sales cycles, improved customer satisfaction and loyalty as products and solutions will be closer aligned with customer requirements. ".

Review IDC Research  / Improving Voting System Investment, Credibility, and Transparency Publication date: 2006-11-29
List Price: $4,500.00
Price: $4,500.00

Review Improving Voting System Investment, Credibility, and Transparency / IDC Research:

This Government Insights Perspective suggests a strategy to provide more reliable, transparent, and affordable voting systems through the collection and better use of voting system information. Because states and local jurisdictions did not have enough information to support strategically informed purchase decisions, many are stuck with inadequate equipment. Future voting system investments must be shaped by adequate standards, appropriately timed funding, a certification process with plenty of sunshine, and thorough life-cycle cost analyses. State and local governments should begin to document costs throughout the life cycle of various voting systems. Until this information has been collected and analyzed, voting system purchases cannot be strategically informed. At best, voting system purchases based only on initial cost are tactical responses to short-term complications.

Review Worldwide Data Integration Software 2003 Vendor Analysis / IDC Research:

This IDC study focuses on the data integration market, which is one of the most interesting and volatile software markets today. Why? Knowledge is power. Data integration software facilitates the generation of knowledge by bringing together data from distributed, heterogeneous data sources to serve the processes that generate the knowledge. In doing so it: Provides an integrated view of data. Such a view may be in support of data usage beyond that governing the creation and maintenance of the data in its source. The primary business benefit is a unified view of organizational information for business analytics and decision making. Allows multiple applications to behave cooperatively and harmoniously. This is typically done using a messaging strategy whereby a consolidated resource queue publishes common messages to which consumers of the queue can subscribe. The primary business benefit is a higher level of customer service and improved operational efficiency. Achieves development efficiencies within IT shops. [+]
It does this by reducing the number of data sources with which the shops' staffs must be familiar for both new development and maintenance. An additional benefit would be faster development (i. e. , shorter project lengths). The market for data integration will always be with us, just as data will always be with us. Currently, this market is a collection of many niche players in such submarkets as extract, transform, and load (ETL); data replication; data quality; and data profiling. Through mergers and acquisitions, this collection of vendors is rapidly converging and coalescing into a smaller group of larger data integration vendors that are offering or plan to offer more complete solutions for data integration. At the moment, Informatica, Ascential and DataFlux are battling for the lead. Big vendors such as IBM, Oracle, and SAP are also interested in this market. "Data is fundamental and data volume worldwide continues to expand rapidly," said Steve McClure, a research vice president in IDC's Software Research Group. "The amount and types of data are proliferating rapidly. Almost every corporation in the world that has been in business for more than nine months needs to perform some form of data integration. To do it efficiently and effectively, companies will need to look at the products offered in this market. ".
