Review HP 9000 Series and Integrity Server Life Cycle Report, February/March 2005 / IDC Research:This IDC study provides residual value forecasts and current fair market value data for HP's PA-RISC (HP 9000 based) and Integrity (Itanium based) low-end and midrange servers. The study explains the current market conditions that are affecting the value of used hardware on the secondary market and what future technological changes will further impact these values. We explore the factors impacting the server market and the price/performance increases expected over the next several years. This information helps those who invest in hardware assess their risk and provides guidance on the amount of residual value that is expected to be realized at the end of lease term. "HP's 9000 series, made up of PA-RISC–based systems, will have only one more processor upgrade. Although an abrupt decline in shipments on the primary market normally sends values of used equipment sharply downward, this decline has been mitigated by HP's platform transition strategy, which favors investment protection. A key factor in the viability of HP server products on the secondary market will be the company's level of success in transitioning its disparate product lines to Integrity. " — Jennifer Koppy, research manager, IDC's Leasing Evaluation Service.

Review Software Companies of the Future / IDC Research:This IDC study examines the maturing software market. The software broker is a new player in the software industry that has emerged in response to the exponentially increasing complexity crisis. Software brokers will become the point of customer contact for an increasing number of enterprise business process solutions. Software brokers already play a leading role in many industry domains. This study shows how the software industry will segment into software publishers and software brokers for each of three distinctly different customer types. Software brokering will be more profitable than outsourcing or system integration by virtue of the deeper customer relationships and the use of standards-based integration platforms. Three examples of industry consolidation are discussed and modeled with the Dynamic Market Map. From these maps, it is apparent that as the industry consolidates, size will not confer automatic broker status because software brokering is more about business model and customer bonding strategy than market share. Recommendations are given for both software vendors and software customers. Increasingly, software vendors must steer for the future success models in the industry and not assume that the same competitive practices that worked in the last 20 years will continue to be effective as the complexity crisis gets resolved. [+]For software customers, the time is now to get on board with the leaders among your peers and obtain complexity reduction from your vendors. "We expect software brokering to continue to accelerate from its base among traditional software vendors with software as a service offerings and services companies with software assets," said Tony Picardi, senior VP of Global Software. "As more software brokers roll out more complexity-reducing solutions, the effect will be like an inundation of killer applications from all directions. ".

Review European Claims Management Solution Market: The Place To Be! / IDC Research:This Financial Insights study outlines the reasons behind insurers' new interest in claims management solutions and their main needs in terms of their claims management processes. Moreover, it analyzes the IT vendors that populate the European claims management solution landscape as well as the IT spending forecast related to this insurance segment and the actions that IT vendors should consider to exploit this promising area. According to Simona Macellari, EMEA manager of research and consulting at Financial Insights, "The complexity of claims processes is such that claims systems are a dense set of disparate technologies and data sources that have to integrate sensibly but not too tightly or rigidly across the enterprise. Therefore, it is difficult to limit the scope of an appropriate end-to-end platform. IT vendors that crowd the European market are very different in nature, with diverse roots that sometimes have extended the breadth of their portfolio, often by teaming up with others. Claims management accounts for around 28% of the total spent by European carriers in technology, so it comes as no surprise that vendors are striving to grab market share. ".

Review Solution Logic: How Solutions Come Together for the Small Business Customer / IDC Research:Vendors of all types are looking to the small business market as a source of future growth. Despite the challenges of managing vast territories of individually-small accounts through indirect relationships, the combination of a large potential market and low current spending will provide an irresistible lure for product and services vendors of all types. However, from a vendor perspective, the small business market has always been somewhat mysterious. It is often described as being a "numbers game", where aggregate results measure the impact of mass marketing techniques. With this report, IDC Canada provides notice that vendors looking to drive growth in the small business market will need to modify this approach, and instead create "management maps" that attach specific business strategies to tightly-defined target markets, through individually-identified suppliers of products and services to small business accounts. As Michael O'Neil, IDC Canada's Managing Director, states, "Vendors need to supply small business focused partners with the knowledge and resources needed to provide business-relevant advice to small business accounts. Most of these accounts look to third parties for the expertise needed to map business requirements to IT products and solutions, and a very high proportion of the subsequent purchases never go to competitive tender. Clearly, there is an opportunity to influence buyers by engaging through consultative services prior to the product transaction. ".

Review SIAS Life Cycle Report, January/February 2005 / IDC Research:This IDC study provides residual value forecasts and current fair market value data for Standard Intel Architecture Servers (SIAS) from tier 1 vendors. The study explains the current market conditions that are affecting the value of used hardware on the secondary market and what future technological changes will further impact these values. We explore the factors impacting the SIAS market and the price/performance increases expected over the next several years. This information helps those who invest in server hardware assess their risk and provides guidance on the amount of residual value that is expected to be realized at the end of lease term. "The SIAS market continues to be a strong growth segment. The new features and functionality built onto these servers mimic the midrange and high-end markets and will further drive growth and flush more equipment onto the secondary market. With the new features dependent upon software and management functionality, any additional value realized on the primary market will not be equally reflected in secondary market pricing. The simple law of supply and demand will be the most important factor in secondary market price fluctuations going forward.

Review Europe Banking Industry CRM 2004 Vendor Profiles: Is It Time for Pervasive CRM? / IDC Research:This Financial Insights study analyzes the evolution of the CRM offering and of the business needs of banks in the field of customer interaction in Europe. Because customer interaction is expected to grab increasing attention, it is important to understand what has changed and how the situation is expected to evolve. This study answers key questions such as: How has the CRM offering evolved, and what are the objectives of banks that implement CRM solutions? What should IT vendors take into consideration when targeting this market? What are the strengths and weaknesses of packaged and ASP solutions? According to Angela Vacca, senior research analyst for European IT Opportunity: Financial Services research, "The European banking sector is expected to pay increasing attention to CRM software even if banks are still keeping costs under strict control and demanding more functionality. At the same time, competition among IT vendors is becoming fiercer. Therefore, IT vendors targeting this business area need to understand what is changing and how the evolutions that are taking place in the market can affect their position in the competitive arena.

Review Product Lifecycle and the Impact on Partnership Strategies / IDC Research:This IDC study describes the relationship between buyer motivation product technology adoption and the value of understanding the technology product lifecycle For marketers and market researchers, understanding the technology product lifecycle can help isolate market segments that are positioned for growth, and the sales and alliances necessary for maximizing that growth. Relationships between vendors with products in different stages of the lifecycle can be expected to provide each with specific and describable benefits. The benefits of relationships between vendors of products in various stages is articulated in a strategy matrix used globally for several years in IDC's High Performance Partnering Workshops. "Marketers must understand the "stage" of a product adoption when selecting markets or market segments to target for growth. Understanding how the target buyer sees the role of technology in their company and industry is essential to leveraging the proper mix of alliance and channel relationships.
