Review European End-User Survey: 2005 Spending Priorities, Outsourcing, Open Source, and Impact of Compliance / IDC Research:IDC's 2005 Western European Software End-User Survey was carried out in March 2005 and covered 625 companies across Western Europe. The survey dealt with a number of general software issues, such as importance of software to end users, software-spending priorities for 2005, spending impact of regulatory compliance, business process outsourcing, and adoption of open source software. Furthermore, the survey covers questions specific to different software areas that will be analyzed in upcoming studies. "This survey yielded many interesting, and surprising, results," said Program Manager Bo Lykkegaard from IDC's European Software Group. "We knew from previous surveys that end users consider software important to business success. That was more than confirmed, since more than half of the respondents consider software as "very important" to business success. Furthermore, CRM applications and financial management applications have moved to the top of the current spending priorities, surpassing both network management software and security solutions. Also, regulatory compliance issues are quite visible in Europe. This survey clearly displayed the heterogeneous nature as well as the mixed impact of regulations and standards on organizations in Western Europe. And finally, open source has a higher adoption in certain software markets than previously thought. [+]One-third of the respondents reported significant live use of open source databases; that was surprisingly high. ".

Review Western European Market Forecast - Services Automation and Management for SOA, 2005-2009 / IDC Research:This IDC study examines the growth potential for software infrastructure technology in support of a service oriented architecture (SOA).

Review Personal and Mobile Computing Survey - Business User Spending Intentions, 2005 / IDC Research:2004 was a positive year for the Western European commercial PC market. While the previous year had seen some encouraging signs in terms of the replacement of aging client computing infrastructure, these were by enlarge essential renewals renewals of necessity. 2004 built upon this optimism and saw budgets being freed up, corporate refreshes shifting up a gear, and continued buoyancy from the small and medium business markets. However, what is of key concern to the market is what will happen during the course of 2005: will business growth be maintained and what will be the key drivers of this growth? The results of IDC's business user survey confirm that the market is expected to be characterized by the following trends over the coming 12 months: More desktop PCs and more notebook PCs will be purchased per business in 2005 than in 2004. "A greater number of new notebook purchases will replace desktops in 2005 than in 2004. Reliability, battery life and hard-disk size are the three most important factors taken into consideration when a notebook purchasing decision is made," said Ian Gibbs, senior research analyst with IDC's European Personal Computing Team. Improving data security remains the most important investment priority in 2005, although replacing aging systems and upgrades to Windows XP are rated as second and third most important respectively. Cost constraints and a lack of understanding of new technologies remain the biggest inhibitors to new investment proposals, however. Survey respondents did reveal an uplift in interest in Linux as a Microsoft alternative. Demand for wireless capabilities is also on the rise, while businesses will in fact demand greater technological innovation from vendors. [+]Overall business IT spending should increase in 2005, with over half of this year's respondents expecting to spend more in 2005 than they did in 2004. The results of IDC's personal and mobile computing business survey, 2005 (undertaken between December 2004 and January 2005), which are detailed and analyzed in this study, provide vendors, end users, and channel players with an important insight into what IT managers are seeking in terms of IT investment and how IT vendors should address their needs. Their concerns, intentions, and perceptions of client computing are highlighted, as are their attitudes to technologies both new and old.
