Review Asia/Pacific (Excluding Japan) Digital Audio End-User Survey 2005: Attitudes Toward New Consumer Technologies / IDC Research:This IDC study presents data and analysis from IDC's 2005 Asia/Pacific Audio/Video Consumer Survey. This document specifically examines survey responses related to digital audio technology ownership, awareness, and purchase intention. Topics covered include household music expenditures, preferred music formats, PC-based music consumption, paid and free online music services, CDs, compressed audio players, and Internet radio. "Emerging digital audio technologies offer consumers opportunities to venture beyond the experience of listening to established formats such as AM/FM radio and CDs," says Claudio Checchia, research manager, Consumer Devices and Services, IDC Asia/Pacific. "However, rates of adoption of new digital audio devices depend on a variety of factors, including comfort with established technologies and price competitiveness. Adoption may vary widely by country, with consumers' gender, age, household income, and level of PC and Internet access all playing an important role in making such purchasing decisions. ".

What are the new trends in IT services delivery, such as outsourcing and business services? Which companies are the market leaders based on services revenue and what are their strengths, weaknesses, and strategies for the future? "The Egyptian IT services will continue to grow in the coming years. Greater regional stability, the continued expansion of the Egyptian economy, privatization of state-owned companies, and greater spending by the government sector will drive the market. The need for Egyptian businesses and state institutions to increase productivity will result in higher investment in back and front-office solutions, thus boosting the system integration and custom application development foundation markets.

The introduction of more cost-effective unmanaged and managed fixed-port solutions for small office/home office and small/medium-sized business environments coupled with more scalable modular solutions for large enterprises continued to attract healthy demand this year.

Key supply-side market trends and user adoption dynamics are also discussed. "The next generation of distributed computing has emerged in the form of Web services and as such must coexist with previous generations of technology. This is indeed one of its widest appeals. What is apparent is that Web services are expected to become even more pervasive throughout the computing stack, adopted by technology vendors that then proliferate the use and consumption of Web services via integrated solutions more so than enterprises addressing all the development and processing complexity directly.

Review Western European BPO Services Market 2004-2009, Forecast and Analysis / IDC Research:This IDC study answers the following questions: What are IDC's predictions and assumptions relating to market forces affecting the Western European BPO services market, and what impact will they have on the market forecasts? What is the size of the opportunity for core BPO services (including human resources, finance and accounting, procurement, customer care, and industry-specific BPO services) in Western Europe in 2005 and for the next four years? What are the key recommendations from IDC for maintaining and growing BPO services revenues in the coming years? Market growth in the Western European BPO services market was again robust, though exchange rate effects boosted this growth by nearly 10%. The performance of service providers in 2004, however, suggested that customer confidence in the BPO model remained strong, as a result of which IDC has made the following key forecasts for the period 2004 to 2009: Total spending on core BPO services, assuming constant currency, will grow from $17. 8 billion to $39. 4 billion at a CAGR of 17. 2% for the forecast period 2004–2009. The largest of these segments will be customer care (a $15. 8 billion market by 2009), followed by industry-specific and human resources BPO. Industry-specific BPO services spend in Europe is set to rise at a CAGR of 20. 2%, from a current spend estimated at $6. 1 billion. [+]Spending in this category is dominated by the U. K. market, which accounts for roughly a half or $2. 7 billion. "Productivity, process efficiency and value for money continues to drive demand for BPO services. Put simply, organizations are becoming ever more willing to outsource those business processes which the in-house function is no longer able to support or the business is no longer willing to invest in," says IDC Research Manager Mike Friend. "Both customers and services providers have demonstrated their belief in the model through the continuing development of new outsourcing opportunities," adds Friend. "This belief in the BPO services model now extends well beyond the U. K. , Benelux, and Nordic markets into central and southern Europe. ".

Review U.S. Healthcare Provider IT Spending 2004-2009 Forecast / IDC Research:This study presents IDC's latest 2004–2009 forecast for IT spending by healthcare providers in the United States. In addition to overall healthcare provider IT spending, IDC forecasts the market by IT segment (hardware, software, and IT services) and by subindustry (hospitals, offices and clinics, and other healthcare delivery services). "The overall IT market growth forecast is cause for celebration, but there are divergent views to appeal to, and vendors cannot reach the middle of this play and the suddenly realize that many healthcare providers have always been reluctant to view themselves as 'businesses,'" said Scott Tiazkun, senior research manager, U. S. Healthcare ITO. "Vendors still need to approach healthcare providers with a delicate balance of IT wizardry and hat-in-hand humility. ".

Overall growth of 12. 8% year on year in the first quarter was roughly 3% ahead of the forecast with all major regions coming in ahead of expectations. It was also the eighth consecutive quarter of double-digit growth.

Review Israel Telecoms and Mobile Communications Services Forecast 2004-2009 / IDC Research:This IDC study sizes, analyzes, and forecasts the markets for telephony services, mobile communications services, managed data network services, and leased circuits in Israel. The study segments telephony services connections by business and residential. Telephony traffic and spending is segmented by type of service and outgoing calls, including connection and subscription fees, local calls, Internet calls, national calls, fixed-to-mobile calls, and international calls. Mobile subscriptions are segmented by contract versus prepaid, as well as by technology. Mobile spending is segmented by voice, SMS, MMS, data, and other mobile services. Managed data network services covers X. 25, frame relay and ATM, IP VPN, and other MDNS, while leased circuits are segmented by bandwidth. This study addresses the following questions: What is the current size of the telephony, mobile, MDNS, and leased circuit market and how will it grow over the next five years? What types of services will fuel growth in each one of these markets, and what market inhibitors do service providers need to be aware of? What are the likely market strategies to be implemented by incumbents and new entrants in each one of these markets? "The year 2004 marked a watershed in the Israeli telecoms arena as all markets were opened to full commercial competition and began offering a plethora of new technologies and services. Given this rapid introduction of both novel services and heightened competition, consolidation pressures will soon be felt across this industry as business viability and user preferences will point to large wide-service portfolio companies rather than a multitude of limited service entities.

Review Worldwide Automated Software Quality Tools 2004 Vendor Shares / IDC Research:This IDC study provides vendor specific revenue and market shares of the leading automated software quality (ASQ) vendors for the 2002–2004 period. An updated five-year forecast as of March 2005 for the ASQ tools market for the 2005–2009 period has been published in Worldwide Automated Software Quality Tools 2005–2009 Forecast (IDC #33060, March 2005). "The ASQ market grew strongly in 2004, marking a return to the double-digit growth that this market has enjoyed in the past. We expect the ASQ market to continue to grow at a strong pace for the foreseeable future due to the strategic importance of software quality to the enterprise," said Melissa Webster, research director in IDC's Application Development and Deployment service. "Drivers for the continued growth of the ASQ market continue to be the need for improved software development productivity, quality, and time to market. IT organizations rely on ASQ tools to help them cope with the increasing complexity of software applications, the business-criticality of software, and the ongoing need to manage costs in an IT spending environment that will remain cautious.

Review U.S. Printer 2005-2009 Forecast / IDC Research:This IDC study quantifies the U. S. single-function printer market opportunity and analyzes it by vendor and by segment. The total U. S. printer market is expected to drop slightly throughout the forecast period due to shifting volumes to MFPs. However, the good news is that IDC has slowed down its forecast for the single-function to multifunction transition as printer vendors continue to find opportunities with single-function printer products. For example, IDC anticipated unit and value CAGRs of -7% and -4%, respectively, in last year's U. S. printer forecast study. [+]In comparison, this year's study shows unit and value CAGRs of -1. 8% and -1. 4% for 2004–2009. "While the U. S. printer market is expected to show some decline over the forecast period, market opportunities remain in certain segments," said Keith Kmetz, program director of IDC's Hardcopy Peripherals Solutions and Services program. "Color page printers will more than double their unit volume during the forecast period, while inkjet printers will still account for more than 10. 63 million unit shipments in 2009. Additionally, the significant ASV declines in certain monochrome laser and color page printer segments will drive interest from increasingly cost-conscious customers. ".

Review Serbia Printer 2004-2008 Forecast and 2003 Vendor Shares / IDC Research:This study discusses the Serbian market for electronic printers – monochrome and color as well as impact and non-impact – used with all levels of computer systems. It does not cover point-of-sale printers or small-format printers featuring widths of less than eight inches. It also does not cover wide format (A0) products, sometimes known as plotters. The forecasts contain data for the Serbian printer market from 2003 through 2008. Unit shipment, value of shipments, and average selling value (ASV) information is presented. Data for 2003 is actual, whereas data for 2004-2008 is projected. "Pricing is the single most important factor on the Serbian market. In the near future, lower prices should spur a migration of a considerable number of home users from inkjet to mono lasers. Further down the road, lower pricing will transform the cost/benefit equation for color lasers and result in strong demand from businesses.
