Review Asia/Pacific (Excluding Japan) IT Services Competitive Dynamics Update, January 2005 / IDC Research:This IDC study highlights market activity and actions undertaken by IT services vendors leading up to the end of 2004. Questions addressed in this update include: Lenovo's impending purchase of IBM's PC division, Symantec's buyout of Veritas and Tata Consulting Services renewed investment in China are among the activities which were noted in the month of December. We look at these plans and their implications on the market. With the several significant mergers and acquisitions (M&A) in the IT market, we have chosen to look at what the drivers of M&A as well as the factors vendors have to take into consideration when contemplating a merger. According to Eugene Wee, market analyst, IT Services Research, IDC Asia/Pacific, "We have seen the diminishing returns from hardware manufacturing companies and telecommunication service providers. The obvious place to look for a "quick-fix" would be to turn towards IT and business services — both of which are becoming increasingly intertwined. ".

Review Europe Banking Industry: Delivery Channel IT Trends / IDC Research:This Financial Insights study discusses the most important trends, requirements, and priorities of European banks in the delivery channel environment. It also provides future priorities for the banking sector. The main focus is on the Western European banking market, with specific mentions of the six major European countries. For the aforementioned reasons, this analysis represents an important support vehicle for IT vendors and banking institutions that have been going through the quick evolution of delivery channels during the last few years. This Financial Insights study will answer the following questions: How will the European banking delivery channel strategy develop over the next three years? What are best practices in single channels? What are the most suitable IT solutions that will help banks to achieve their business objectives across different channels? "In branches, the priority will be to improve performance through a better methodology to distribute information. New technologies such as VoIP will provide the right support. In the ATM environment, the research of new services continues. Focusing on Web, security, and the detection of financial crimes such as phishing and other fraudulent events will take center stage. More performance, more customer interaction, and increasing STP integration are three future issues for European banks in the delivery channel field.

Review Major Software Vendors' Channel Revenue Contribution in Asia/Pacific (Excluding Japan): 2004 Review / IDC Research:This IDC study presents key observations on major software vendors from 2004, which include: a move among a number of vendors to unify and optimize partner programs; a continued expansion of partner programs to further penetrate the small and medium-sized business (SMB) segment; the increasing importance of industry expertise within indirect sales channels; and an expansion of partnerships and alliances to develop or improve supply chain management (SCM) products and solutions. "Major software vendors' channel partnerships and alliances remain a critical factor to the success of vendor operations in the Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan) or APEJ region. As evidenced by this research, as well as other IDC Asia/Pacific research efforts, software vendors continue to recognize the importance of establishing and enhancing partnership and alliance programs in order to achieve strategic objectives, namely, penetrate new markets or expand the scope of product offerings," states Ethan Pike, senior analyst, IDC Asia/Pacific.

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 Asia/Pacific Telecommunications 2005 GSP Profiles: Moving Up the Value Chain into IT Services / IDC Research:This IDC study looks at the market dynamics affecting the evolution of the telecommunications market and profiles the key global service providers (GSPs) in Asia/Pacific. "Although most GSPs talk up the notion of moving their services up the value chain by providing managed services and other services as part of their offerings, very few are actually deriving revenue from anything beyond the most basic of service offerings. Unless this changes, GSPs will continue to move along the path toward becoming basic utility players. Only those players that establish close in-house relationships with customers and prove themselves to be indispensable business and operations advisors will survive and prosper," says Claus Mortensen, senior analyst, IDC Asia/Pacific.

Review Asia/Pacific Telecommunications Predictions 2005 / IDC Research:The IDC study looks at our Asia/Pacific Telecommunications Predictions 2005 where we present consensus of the top 10 predictions for the 2005 telecommunications market in the Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan) or APEJ region. Drawing from the latest IDC research and from a brainstorm amongst IDC's regional telecommunications and network analysts, we take a high-level look at trends, vendor as well as service provider strategies, and new technologies that will emerge with major impact on the industry and its players in 2005. "The key themes shaping both the IT and the telecom sector are convergence and consolidation. True 'convergence' is still some years away but the seeds have been sown and clearly, the lines between 'fixed' versus 'wireless' communications are blurring with boundaries being tested and crossed," says Claus Mortensen, senior analyst, Telecommunications, IDC Asia/Pacific. "IDC expects this central theme of convergence will continue to run over the course of the next few years. ".

Review Idea Management Software - Opportunities for New Entrants / IDC Research:This is the second of a two-part IDC study of the global idea management applications market. The first part explored manufacturers' need to introduce innovative products and to manage product ideas as corporate assets. This second part of the study profiles six market players — IDe, Sopheon, Imaginatik, SAP, UGS, and Agile Software — and explores the functionalities of their idea management products. Beyond that, IDC suggests a number of actions these and other idea management application providers may want to consider in order to accelerate market awareness and end-user benefits. Gisela Wilson, director of Product Life Cycle Management explains, "Although the market for idea management is still quite new, its participants are competing from a variety of positions of strength: traditional enterprise resource management, as with SAP; engineering expertise with strength in product data management, as with UGS; and extensive consulting experience, as with IDe and Sopheon. Clearly, the market has not yet consolidated, and there is still room for newcomers to enter it with good chances for success. ".

Review Consolidations of Enterprise Applications Vendors Alter Software Industry in 15-Month Buyout Frenzy / IDC Research:This IDC study analyzes the wave of mergers and consolidations that swept through the enterprise applications market between January 2004 and March 2005. The increasing number of consolidations among enterprise applications vendors is changing the course of the software industry with the creation of industry powerhouses, the possibility of duopolies in many vertical segments, and the invasion of private equity firms aiming to own a significant chunk of the market. "It's a classic case of an arms race to prepare for the future of the high-tech industry," said Albert Pang, IDC research director of Enterprise Applications. "More than $30 billion has been spent on vendor acquisitions since January 2004, and the quickening pace of buyout activities will embolden certain companies while weakening others in a blink of an eye.

It also notes some of the market challenges, along with some statistics on user needs and trends across verticals in the region. "Addressing concerns such as failure to meet service level agreements (SLAs), loss of property, lack of data protection, and hidden costs, among others, are issues considered to be of low business value, yet pose great operational risks and customer dissatisfaction. Vendors need to define clearly and properly their SLA methodologies, processes, policies, and others to protect both parties and avoid contention in the future," says Timothy Wong, market analyst, IT Services, IDC Asia/Pacific.
