Review Heading for Cross-Border Banking? / IDC Research:

This Financial Insights' study analyzes the current trends in mergers and acquisitions in Europe and focuses on the challenges of cross-border banking. Europe seems to be entering a new wave of cross-border mergers and acquisitions. Spurred by the creation of megabanks in the United States and Asia, European banks are looking at new targets in the region, which will give them membership in the "trillion-dollar club. " Financial Insights believes that many smaller banks will disappear, although there will be increasing niche opportunities as European banking becomes increasingly harmonized. Customer needs are converging, and increased mobility is creating new product and service opportunities. "The common European objective of achieving growth, be it through mergers and acquisitions, through cross-border banking, or in local markets, will drive a greater acceptance of cooperative arrangements between banking institutions and third-party providers," says Rachel Hunt, European Banking research manager. "In particular, sharing noncore operational costs with other banks will become increasingly the norm. ".

Review Beyond Vertical: Why Services Firms Must Redefine Their Go-to-Market Models to Ensure Differentiation / IDC Research:

IT services firms are not having it easy. Growth in services spending is slow, and with the exception of the outsourcing markets, there is little real cause for cheer. As technology vendors listen to customer demand for smarter and simpler products, with more built-in industry expertise, services firms are slowly, but surely, losing a key means of differentiating themselves in the market. Over the past five to ten years, many providers of IT software and services have decided to use vertical market go-to-market models. Some have done it whole-heartedly and structured their entire organizations around industry sectors, while others have left it to the front-line sales organization to target specific industries. However, as with any other aspect of the services market, new trends emerge and services companies must adapt, in order to differentiate themselves and compete successfully in the face of this new environment. This study discusses a trend that is now emerging which indicates that relying solely on a vertical go-to-market model may have run its course in the IT industry. For those who have only just decided to join this wave, it may be too late. "This approach to the market is coming to the end of its life cycle and a new approach is needed in order for services firms to differentiate themselves, while delivering extra value and competitive advantage to their clients", said Marianne Kolding, director European Services with IDC. "Future go-to-market models will relate more to type of process — or even type of business — than the specific industry. [+]
However, this doesn't mean that the knowledge or expertise in a specific industry sector will not be needed; it will just not be the most appropriate road to market. ".

Review Western European Hotspot Update, 2004 / IDC Research:

This study analyzes the status of the Western European WiFi hotspot market. It provides an overview of market developments and a summary of the WLAN activities of European mobile operators in 2004. Only commercially deployed hotspots are covered in this research — free wireless networks or so-called community networks are not. An updated forecast of the number of Western European hotspots is also provided. Categories include airports, airport lounges, cafés and restaurants, highway restaurants, hotels, petrol stations, train stations, stores, exhibition and conference centers, and payphones. An overview is provided for the following European countries: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. "In the near future, hotspots will continue to be deployed at a healthy pace, and a growing number of these hotspots will be implemented by specialized WISPs and a few carriers," said Evelien Wiggers, an IDC senior research analyst in European Telecommunications and Networking. "However, the majority of mobile operators will choose to lease network capacity from these players and offer public WLAN services under their own brand. ".

Review Business Transformation at Commonwealth Bank of Australia: Why "Which New Bank" Is Working / IDC Research:

This Financial Insights study discusses the achievements of the Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) in rolling out a comprehensive business transformation initiative tagged as "Which New Bank. " This study discusses the business needs that encouraged the initiative and mentions some benefits associated with the program. The study stresses that strong demands were imposed on technology, requiring the bank to develop an implementation strategy that carefully took into consideration the bank's technology needs. The bank's technology strategy fell neatly into the Which New Bank program. Michael Araneta, research manager for Financial Insights Asia/Pacific IT Benchmarking says, "The real test for Which New Bank may be in how the changes that it has introduced, and the subsequent benefits it has given, can be sustained as a new CEO takes over the bank. Still, CBA's Which New Bank program has already become a meaningful case study for banks across Asia. We recognize that the program has already provided the intended benefits of improved customer service and efficient processes. Banks that want to see the same benefits in their organizations will be keen to look very closely at how Which New Bank was articulated, rolled out, and implemented. ".

Review The Western European Security Appliance Market, 3Q04: ID&P and UTM Security Appliances Continue to Thrive / IDC Research:

This IDC study provides an overview and analysis of the Western European security appliance market for 3Q04. Data for this report is generated from the 3Q04 release of IDC's European Quarterly Security Server Appliance Tracker, which tracks the firewall/VPN, unified threat management, and intrusion detection and prevention security appliance workloads. Areas of focus include: Overall Western Europe market performance Workload (category) trends Vendor performance and shares Country performance and shares Future outlook for the market "Because of the wide range of threats present today customers need to take a layered approach in securing themselves. A firewall is certainly an integral part of an organization's security framework, but on its own it is no longer enough to ensure protection. As a result, customers need to add further security functionality or 'layers' of security. Whether these extra layers are deployed through single-function point solutions or multifunction integrated solutions varies between customers, but one clear trend is the preference for the use of appliances to add these layers," says Oliver Harcourt, senior research analyst for IDC.

Review Australian Banking, Finance and Insurance Market, 2005 / IDC Research:

This IDC study offers a view of the Australian Banking, Finance and Insurance vertical market from an IT perspective. It provides a forecast of the IT spending from 2003 to 2008 as well as results of a survey conducted in this vertical sector. IDC IT Spending research manager Jean-Marc Annonier says, "The outlook for the Banking, Finance and Insurance sector is optimistic, with credit growth in banking strong and the insurance sector expected to enjoy high profits. IT spending in this sector will grow at a steady 5% in the next three years and exceed A$6. 4 billion in 2008. Most of the growth will concern services, particularly outsourcing which alone will grow by almost A$500 million in the next three years. On the other hand, spending on hardware is expected to decrease. " The main factors that will drive IT investments in the BFI sector in the coming years are productivity gains through to business automation, the need to increase sales and profitability through unified CRM systems, electronic delivery of financial services, and security.

List Price: $2,500.00
Price: $2,500.00

Review Effective Strategies for Buyer Influence: Building Awareness and Demand in the Storage Sector / IDC Research:

This IDC study provides insight to vendor marketers for better aligning their marketing investments to build effective brand awareness and influence. The growing mandate for solutions selling now requires that vendor marketers become better able to influence the senior managers that seek to address business issues, in addition to maintaining a proficiency in addressing technical issues and requirements. IDC finds that: Buyers perceive that the overall capability for IT vendors to solutions sell (i. e. , to understand the business problems for a company of their size and industry sector) is only adequate and needs to be improved. Overall, buyers perceive that the influence of professional organizations, peer referrals, and independently authored white papers are all more important than the influence of direct communications with the vendor sales representative. According to Richard Vancil, vice president of IDC's CMO Advisory Research program, "As IT buyers grow more sophisticated, tech marketers may face a growing ineffectiveness. The marketing efforts of tomorrow will need to be highly tailored for audience and be able to be monitored and recalibrated quickly. However, the marketing resource management practices of today — the budgeting processes and organizational structures, which are largely functional versus market-facing in orientation — may not facilitate this capability.
