Review Worldwide Business Process Automation Deployment Software 2005-2009 Forecast: This Billion-Dollar Baby Has Legs and Reach / IDC Research:

This IDC study is the initial 2005–2009 forecast for the business process automation (BPA) deployment software market, a "competitive market" as defined in the IDC Software Research Group (SRG) taxonomy. It updates relevant market drivers and inhibitors. The BPA deployment software market measures software that can be used by nonprofessional developers and that is instantiated in a single combination development/deployment product (among other characteristics). This study updates the forecast and assumptions table for the BPA deployment software market released in October and January 2004, respectively. These changes are driven by results of a demand-side survey conducted in North America in August 2004 and an annual review of supply-side market dynamics for over 50 relevant BPA deployment software suppliers. "Calendar 2004 was the billion-dollar year IDC has been predicting it would be," said Dennis Byron, VP, Business Process Automation and Deployment Software Research, IDC. "We can now safely say that this is a real market and not an ERP or operating system extension, but we will continue to watch the growth quarter by quarter to see if the momentum can be maintained on the way to $3 billion. There are still a few very large software suppliers that don't want to see the software market develop this way because it gives the user more control than the supplier. ".

Review U.S. Healthcare Payer IT 2005-2008 Forecast / IDC Research:

This IDC study presents a forecast for 2005–2008 IT spending by the U. S. healthcare payer industry. Previously, IDC has considered healthcare payers a subindustry of the insurance industry under financial services. This study extracts the healthcare payer subindustry from the insurance market to look at trends across the payer market specifically. "Payer-based electronic health records will only be effective when databases are used in tandem with analytics to analyze appropriate data for patients," said Scott Tiazkun, research manager, U. S. Healthcare IT. "IT vendors that can supply predictive modeling capabilities to identify treatment opportunities (or gaps in care) will be crucial to the payer community. ".

Review IDC Research  / The Price of Price - Brand and Channel Preferences, 2004: Business Projector Survey Publication date: 2005-01-01
List Price: $4,500.00
Price: $4,500.00

Review The Price of Price - Brand and Channel Preferences, 2004: Business Projector Survey / IDC Research:

This IDC study reveals the results of U. S. business respondents' feedback on questions regarding their preferences on projector purchase channel, research method, and brand. Via phone-based surveys, 301 business projector users were asked a wide range of questions about their current projector ownership, the factors that affect their future buying plans, and their demographic profiles. With historical views into past surveys, we find that our buyers were much more decisive in their purchase decisions, given ever-increased commoditization in projector features and purchase channel. Following precisely in the footsteps of the PC and monitor industries, the projector industry offers the buyer a vast brand landscape in which nearly all vendors are capable of delivering top-notch performance at competitive prices. Buyer demands on projector life expectancy have risen, while expectations for future projector ASPs fell sharply. "The current projector brand leaderboard will only change if the present occupants don't execute on fundamental customer satisfaction marks as our users are quite comfortable with the brands already established in-house. " — Eric Haruki, research manager, PC Displays and Projectors.

Moreover, it allows Canadian IT services firms to understand the differences between their clients' and their competitors' clients' decision-making considerations. Understanding these distinctions should enable IT services firms to find competitive advantages in a cut-throat market. ".

Price: $4,500.00

Review U.S. Private Line 2004-2008 Forecast and Analysis / IDC Research:

This IDC study forecasts the U. S. private line market and its two major components, the local and long distance segments. IDC forecasts continued declines in both sectors. The long distance market will decline faster because of price competition and the adoption of flat rate pricing. The ILECs will lose share slowly as competitors continue to build up their local facilities. "The private line market is still an important segment for service providers. However, alternative technologies such as Ethernet, VPNs, and end-user expectations for lower prices will ensure this segment remains risky and unpredictable over the forecast period. Service providers must be flexible and innovative in providing creative solutions and customer care features to retain market share. " — Courtney Munroe, vice president, Telecom and IP Services.

Review Equity Research Independence - A Ranking of AP Brokers / IDC Research:

This Financial Insights study — based on a survey of Asia/Pacific investment management firms — unveils the perceptions of money managers in the region of the relative independence of the broker research they receive. Because of the controversy in the West over disaggregating payments for research and execution, this survey also investigated the buy-side stance on soft-dollar arrangements in this region. Survey respondents further shed light on the degree of correlation between research independence and research usability and, toward that front, which brokers in the region are adding real substance to their investment processes. "Independent research is not always tantamount to usable research. Survival for research outfits in today's competitive climate will boil down to superior performance," notes Li-May Chew, CFA, senior research manager for Financial Insights' Asia/Pacific Capital Markets Advisory Service. Analyzing the ranking of brokers, she commented, "With their wider breadth and depth of coverage, finer specialist expertise, and economies of scale, the global brokers will continue to dominate the ranks for the most usable and accurate stock recommendations.

Review Worldwide Model-Driven Development and Business Rules Management Systems 2004-2008 Forecast Update and 2003 Vendor Shares: Year-End Review / IDC Research:

This IDC study is a revised version of Worldwide Model-Driven Development and Business Rules Management Systems 2004–2008 Forecast and 2003 Vendor Shares (IDC #32392, December 2004). The original document was revised due to changes that IDC is making with regard to how several leading business rules management systems (BRMS) vendors map to our software taxonomy and how IDC allocates revenue from these vendors to the IDC BRMS functional market. These revisions in no way suggest any changes to the actual financial statements of these companies. This IDC study provides vendor-specific revenue data, market shares, competitive analysis, and profiles of the leading model-driven development (MDD) vendors and BRMS vendors for the period from 2002 to 2003. This document provides an updated five-year forecast as of December 2004 for the MDD and BRMS submarkets for the 2004–2008 period. Forecasts by geographic region and operating environment are included. By leveraging a bottom-up approach based in market segmentation, IDC's forecast for this market has dramatically increased and is indicative that significant change in this market is occurring. "All of the indications are present to suggest that the overall analysis, modeling, and design (AMD) market and its constituent parts are positioned for high growth," said Stephen D. Hendrick, group vice president, Application Development and Deployment Research. "High growth in the BRMS submarket indicates end-user validation of BRMS, as does the commitment now being made by the leading vendors to this technology. [+]
At the same time, new approaches to modeling combined with a more complete and integrated support of the software development life cycle will drive higher-than-anticipated growth in the model-driven development submarket. ".

"The build market for analytic solutions captures the range of analytic innovation and not-invented-here attitude that is bound to result in new business advantages for the savvy user. However, together, the robust build and buy markets represent a more accurate picture of analytic competitive choices. " — Bob Blumstein, research director, CRM Analytics and Marketing Applications.
