Review Canadian Server Forecast 2006-2010: Simplify and Stratify / IDC Research:

The Canadian server market showed considerable growth throughout 2005, driven in part by Canadian organizations recognizing that there are productivity improvements to be gained with an updated, modern IT infrastructure. Server market revenues grew by 8% in 2005 to stand at US$1. 5 billion, while units showed an even more impressive 9% increase to more than 173,000 shipments. Revenues and shipments are forecasted to show continued growth through to 2010 with an expected 5-year CAGR of 3. 7% and 9. 9%, respectively. Canadian organizations are putting a renewed focus on innovation to help boost profits and reduce the productivity gap with the U. S. "The old adage of adding computing and/or storage capacity in a reactive manner is not going to deliver the benefits that end user organizations are demanding. Canadian server vendors need to enhance their solution offerings by integrating management capabilities and develop their partner ecosystem in order to add value to IT solutions beyond that of new technology" states Alan Freedman, Research Manager Infrastructure Hardware at IDC Canada. [+]
With respect to the server market, successful vendors need to focus on innovative initiatives such as virtualization, clusters, blade servers and processor power consumption.

Review Discovering Their "True Colors": Predicting Users' Mobile Phone Color Preferences / IDC Research:

This IDC study identifies trends in mobile phone color preferences when comparing users across different benefit perception clusters. Today, users' preferences of mobile phone colors convey as much about them as individuals as they do about their changing views about the utility of their phones. "Because today's mobile phone users no longer perceive their devices to be basic utilities for wireless voice communications, they are evolving as highly individualized tools for delivering specific solutions to different user segments," says Dana Thorat, senior research analyst in IDC's Mobile User program. "And as we contemplate them as individualized devices, their exterior colors must take on a more focal purpose. " Predicting users' color preferences for mobile phones is dependent on numerous factors, and this study explores the complexities of predicting users' color preferences for mobile phones.

" Says Massimiliano Claps, Senior Research Analyst, IDC Canada Customer Segments.

Review Worldwide Collaborative Product Development Applications 2005-2009 Forecast: A First Look at a Strong 2004 / IDC Research:

This IDC study provides a top-down sizing of the collaborative product development applications market in 2004 and a 2005–2009 forecast for this market. Spending for CPD applications will increase as manufacturers in industrialized countries rely on automation software to maintain their competitiveness through innovation and faster time to market. Another market driver will be manufacturing sites that are setting up operations in lower-wage countries. Gisela Wilson, director of Product Life-Cycle Management, explains, "Opportunities for software providers in the CPD applications market are improving as manufacturing companies are investing again in IT software and hardware. However, there is no doubt that application providers will have to be able to deal with two very different markets: the manufacturing market in the industrialized world with demand for complex planning applications and integrated product suites and the market in the industrializing world with demand for specific standalone tools.
