Review Japan VoIP 2004-2008 Forecast and 2003 Brand Shares / IDC Research:

This IDC study highlights that VoIP technology is now in a period of change. VoIP technology is a potentially profitable market not only for VoIP vendors but also for data vendors, software vendors, and communication carriers. This study presents the results of research on the size and vendor market share of Japan's enterprise VoIP device market in 2003, with a forecast until 2008, as well as the Enterprise User Survey. The size of Japan's enterprise VoIP device market in 2003 was 66. 719 billion Yen. The company that topped the market was NEC, with a market share of 29. 5%.

Junko Yairi, network device research manager of IDC Japan, comments on Japan's enterprise VoIP device market, "The main objective of enterprises using VoIP networks is for cost reduction. In the future, rather than focus on reducing communication cost, enterprises should look at VoIP network implementation as a means of reducing lost opportunities for revenue gain. Also, diverse approaches to VoIP technology are surfacing, such as application interaction or mobile centrex, and others. Communication carriers as well as vendors of software, VoIP devices, mobile phones, wireless LAN, and other devices that are quick to establish a framework for collaborative effort will emerge winners.

" She adds, "The sales will still be mainly supported by resource management modules such as network management and job scheduling modules but the implementation of service availability management and change/configuration management software will increase as users deepen their understanding of IT service management and as IT infrastructure libraries (ITILS) become widespread. The importance of IT strategies of businesses will, therefore, increase and there will be a trend of IT investments initiated by the top management of companies. ".

List Price: $5,000.00

Review Japan IA-64 Server and x86-64 Server 2004-2008 Forecast and Analysis / IDC Research:

This IDC study analyzes the impact of the x86-64 server's debut on the IA-64 server market, and explores the respective server's market opportunities and growth factors. Additionally, forecasts for the server product markets are also presented. In August 2004, Intel began shipment of the Xeon EM64T processor, which was announced in February 2004. This 64-bit processor–equipped x86-64 server started shipment in the Japan market in 3Q04. Thus, Intel's 64-bit processor–equipped servers now include two systems: the EPIC processor–equipped IA-64 server and the x86-64 server. According to IDC forecast, the x86 server market will see a rapid shift from the 32-bit processor–equipped x86-32 server to the x86-64 server from 2005. By end of 2006, shipment of x86-32 servers will cease. In this way, the x86-64 server will succeed the x86-32 server. Meanwhile, the IA-64 server will achieve a certain market scale as the platform for migrating from the RISC server. "The advantages of the x86-64 server, which is equipped with the x86-64 processor, are larger address space and high-speed double-precision computation, rather than reliability or scalability, which are the advantages of the traditional x86-32 server. [+]
Thus, it will have extremely limited impact on the IA-64 server market, which seeks to replace the RISC server market where high reliability and scalability are required," opines Masamichi Karasawa, senior analyst, Server, IDC Japan.

Review Japan Server 2004-2008 Forecast Update and 1H04 Vendor Shares: 2004 Midyear Review / IDC Research:

This IDC study analyzes the shipments of the Japanese server market in 1H04 (January–June) and forecasts the market size between 2004 and 2008. The factory revenue of the server market in 1H04 showed year-on-year decrease of 1. 9% to 366. 06 billion yen. Although this is the seventh straight decline, the growth rate is recovering after hitting the bottom in 1H03. The shipments grew by 15. 0% to 243,439 units and achieved two-digit growth for two consecutive periods. The shipments showed year-on-year growth in all product segments. "The server demand is clearly improving, and that the demand for replacement of RISC server and mainframe has recovered in 1H04. On the other hand, the decrease in the average selling value of x86 server accelerated. [+]
The x86 server market maintains healthy growth in terms of shipments, but its factory revenue was sluggish. Based on these factors, IDC revised the market forecast for 2004 upward. The server market in 2004 will show year-on-year decrease of 2. 8% in factory revenue to 699. 373 billion yen. The shipments are expected to increase by 14. 1%," observes Masahiro Nakamura, research manager, Japan Servers, IDC Japan.

Review Japan Carrier Solutions/Managed Services 2005-2009 Forecast / IDC Research:

This IDC study analyzes the current situation, characteristics, and future direction of solutions/managed services provided by communications carriers based on information obtained from interviews with leading carriers. The study provides a market analysis by service category and forecasts the size of the solutions/managed services market between 2004 and 2009. IDC Japan's communications group research manager, Toshihiro Mishima, says, "Solutions/managed services provided by carriers are required to further expand in scope as companies' communications network systems become more sophisticated and complicated. There has been a drastic increase in "last-minute demand" for security consulting ahead of the enactment of the Personal Data Protection Act. As the corporate preference of outsourcing increases, managed features such as Internet datacenter (iDC) facilities are making clear their position as the core competence area of communications carriers. Carriers should, therefore, further improve their core network solutions and promote the delivery of solutions/managed services in higher levels while keeping an eye on competing IT and systems integration (SI) vendors. The business environment for this purpose is being prepared as well. ".

Review North American Application Deployment Software Suppliers: Vertical Views into Supplier Strategies and Successes / IDC Research:

This IDC study of the presence by industry of leading application deployment software market participants in North America is based on industry-specific market share information collected during 2003 and 2004. The application deployment software market is the aggregate of the application server and integration server software platform (ASSP and ISSP) markets, plus Web server software (WEBS), transaction-server middleware (TSM), message-oriented middleware (MOM), and all associated adapters/connectors as defined in the IDC's Software Taxonomy, 2005 (IDC #32884, February 2005). This study reviews the strategies and successes by industry of the suppliers identified as leaders; ranking for 2003/2004 will not be released until later in 2005 when the IDC 2005 Software Market Forecaster data collection process for 2004 is completed. Rankings for other regions and worldwide are available on a custom basis. "Most leading application deployment software suppliers emerged from one specific industry (e. g. , SeeBeyond from healthcare delivery, TIBCO from the securities industry)," said Dennis Byron, VP, Business Process Automation and Deployment Software Research. "Many other suppliers, although their early successes did not come from any one specific industry by design, have begun well-organized initiatives involving dedicated or semidedicated development, marketing, and sales organizations (e. g. , webMethods). [+]
That's the recipe for success. And industry-centric success is the only recipe for overall market success. ".

Review Japan Outsourcing Leading Vendor Profiles, 2004 / IDC Research:

This IDC study summarizes the results of a survey on the 2004 Japan outsourcing market and competition scene. The discussion on the competition scene presents profiles as well as market rankings of the Japan IT outsourcing vendors based on consolidated revenue. Riding the tide of companies' cost-reduction needs, the IT outsourcing market continues to show high growth. However, the growth has slowed down compared to the 1990s when outsourcing services were sprouting up rapidly. As the outsourcing business garners more attention, competition among vendors has also become more intense. "In the March 2004 period, leading vendors achieved high growth in domestic IT outsourcing revenue. However, if the IT outsourcing services continue to be provided as solutions for cost reduction, vendors will be hard-pressed for profits. It is important for vendors, therefore, to provide speedy systems construction and other services that would improve the value of user companies' businesses," opines Satoshi Matsumoto, senior market analyst, IT Services Research, IDC Japan.
