Review Worldwide and U.S. Server Channel 2005-2009 Forecast / IDC Research:This IDC study analyzes current channel trends and discusses channel activity through 2009. The data provides server distribution information useful for planning and forecasting market growth and penetration. In this increasingly competitive market, vendors need to be cognizant of changes in the markets and with the partners, and they must be proactive and aware of these issues and trends. This study identifies the areas of greatest channel growth, informing readers, through IDC's distribution channel forecasts, of areas for increased channel development in the worldwide server market for 2005–2009. "The dichotomy of the server market of solutions and products will present suppliers with a variety of challenges in the coming years — some new and some familiar to those that have engaged with partners for many years. One of the largest challenges will be the migration of the value-added partners toward independence from the brands they sell, and a key issue for many suppliers will be toward increasing the loyalty and pulling back to a specific brand through these partners. Optimum results will be realized by those that listen and work with their partners to reach a balance to leverage versus compete head-to-head with these partners in the coming years in this highly competitive market. Those that try and go it alone without a balanced approach may increase the difficulty in the success they seek to achieve.

Review U.S. Consumer IP 2005-2009 Forecast / IDC Research:This IDC study provides insight into the consumer IP market in the United States. Consumer Internet access is by far the largest segment of the IP market and will remain so throughout the forecast period. "The IP market will be propped up by consumer spending and will remain the largest segment by far. Broadband will take over from dial as the access method of choice by a majority of consumers and will dominate revenue figures going forward. Value dial services will remain relatively stable and premium dial services will decline drastically," said Steven Harris, research manager of IDC's ISP Markets program.

Review Western European IT 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 IT services market, and what impact will they have on market forecasts? What is the size of the opportunity for providing IT services in Western Europe in 2005 and for the next four years, and which major areas are growing fastest? What are the key recommendations from IDC for maintaining and growing IT Services revenues in the coming years, and what are the issues that IP services providers will need to be aware of? "With overall growth expected to be about 3. 8% in 2005, IT services players are in for another tough year," says Martin Canning, VP, IDC European Services Research. "Differentiation undoubtedly will be the biggest challenge of IT services providers under current market conditions. Growth will stay relatively low throughout the forecast period and services firms must look beyond the "me-too" strategy of industry-aligned offerings. This strategy has had its best days, and can no longer be seen as a differentiating factor. To gain ground in a market that is barely growing, players must reexamine their means of differentiation. We believe that an increased focus on business processes and business models will be the characteristics that will define successful services businesses in the coming years".

Review Western European HR Management Services Market, 2004-2009 Forecast and Analysis / IDC Research:This IDC study outlines IDC's predictions and assumptions relating to market forces affecting the Western European HR management services market, and the impact they will have on market forecasts, the size of the opportunity for providing HR services in Western Europe in 2005 and over the next four years, and the key recommendations from IDC for maintaining and growing HR services revenues in the coming years. The performance of service providers in 2004 suggests that confidence is returning to this market, with evidence of a growing project and contract pipeline. IDC has made the following key forecasts for the period 2004 to 2009: The Western European HR Services market will grow from $24 billion in 2004 to $34. 3 billion by 2009 with a CAGR of 7. 4%. The HR BPO market will continue to represent the fastest growing spending segment, with growth projected at a CAGR of 16. 5% over the forecast period, 2004–2009. This translates as an absolute market growth of $2. 2 billion in five years. The HR consulting services market, which represented 34. [+]9% of Western European HR services spending in 2004, is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7. 5% over the forecast period. The HR processing services market, in which payroll services represent nearly 70% of spending, is forecast to grow with a CAGR of 5. 6% for the 2004–2009 period. This low CAGR disguises much higher growth rates for fully managed payroll services. The take-up of benefits administration services, continues to lag behind the U. S. market, however. "Corporate governance, pension reform, compliance, productivity, process efficiency, and HR costs have all helped stimulate demand for HR services in 2004. However, in established markets such as payroll and HR consulting, market growth has been slowed by competition among service providers and the downward pressure on service fees this has exerted," said Mike Friend, research manager for IDC's European Business Services research. "The real action lies with HR business process outsourcing," said Friend. "The continuing rapid growth of the HR business process outsourcing market has buoyed up the market and reflects a dynamic shift in customer buyer behavior. It has also demonstrated that a market for HR BPO services exists outside of the U. K. , Benelux, and Nordic markets. ".

Review Canadian Server Workload Analysis and Implications / IDC Research:As corporations increasingly look for demonstrable value from their IT resources, the alignment of IT resources with business and technical concerns becomes critical to the server purchasing decision process. To that end IDC has undertaken a server workloads analysis to further explore the strong relationship between the workload a server is tasked with and critical attributes that comprise the server, such as platform, size, and processor type. IDC believes that a thorough understanding of this relationship can assist server vendors to effectively target customers with the most appropriate product and solution offerings. Alan Freedman, Research Manager at IDC Canada, states that "Developing effective market strategies based on workloads analysis will promote shorter sales cycles, improved customer satisfaction and loyalty as products and solutions will be closer aligned with customer requirements.

Review Global IT Economic Outlook: A Snapshot of the Global Economy and IT Markets, 1Q05 / IDC Research:This IDC study provides an in-depth analysis of global economic conditions and their effects on IT markets around the world. It answers such questions as: What shaped the developments in the global economy during 1Q05 and what impact will these drivers have on the outlook for the global economy and IT spending going forward? What will be the key drivers for a recovery in IT spending? Where are IT spending prospects the most promising, and where are they the weakest? "Global growth will remain relatively robust in 2005. However, economic performance between major industrial economies will be uneven and will worsen the existing global imbalances", said Anna Toncheva, research manager and economist for IDC's Leading IT Indicators research program. "High oil prices and exacerbated protectionism pressures in the United States and Europe during the first quarter of 2005 have raised the risks of a reversal in the economic environment and called for downward revisions in some segments of the IT market.

Review U.S. Wireless Commercial Video and Television 2005-2009 Forecast and Analysis: Rise of the Third Screen / IDC Research:This IDC study forecasts the U. S. wireless commercial video and television market for 2005–2009. Wireless commercial video and television, as distinct from the user-created video content market, has generated an astounding amount of interest — and hype — in the past year. From the launch of goTV and MobiTV on 2. 5G cellular networks, to Verizon Wireless' launch of VCAST on 3G, to the noncellular multicast/broadcast networks anticipated in late 2006, this highly complex market is sure to remain among the most dynamic and compelling services delivered to wireless subscribers and customers in the years ahead. Based on customer and subscriber survey data as well as in-depth discussions with key network operators, infrastructure providers, handset manufacturers, and content providers, this forecast assesses the demand for wireless commercial video and television services through 2009 in terms of several key metrics: subscribers and "à la carte" customers, consumption (based on total minutes consumed per year and per subscriber/customer), and revenue. Extensive trend analysis and a summary of current carrier offerings are included. "Although there are substantial challenges facing the commercial video and television marketplace from a network, handset, and content perspective, which will serve to keep penetration levels relatively low, we anticipate that annual revenue will still top the $3 billion mark by 2009," said Lewis Ward, senior research analyst in IDC's Wireless and Mobile Communications program. "With an ARPU approaching $10 per subscriber per month by that point, commercial video and television may well emerge as the single largest cell phone–oriented ARPU driver among consumers outside of voice.

Review Asia/Pacific (Excluding Japan) Home Networking 2004 Review and 2005-2009 Forecast and Analysis / IDC Research:This IDC study examines the growing home networking market in the Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan) or APEJ region. The concept of networking one's home has slowly been getting more attention in APEJ households driven by the confluence of three factors: the steep rise in the number of residential broadband subscribers, the steady increase in multiple PC households, and the rapid increase in popularity of notebook computers among consumers. "Technology adoption has always been driven by applications, and home networking is no different. Throughout the forecast period, data-centric applications will drive PC networks to remain the dominant type of network installed in APEJ households," says Claudio Checchia, research manager, Consumer Services and Devices program, IDC Asia/Pacific. He further states, "However, by the end of the forecast period, IDC expects entertainment solutions and media-rich content to rapidly gain in popularity driving adoption of multimedia and entertainment networks across the Asia/Pacific region.

Review Asia/Pacific IT Services Market Analysis and Forecast, 2005-2009 / IDC Research:This IDC study presents IDC's most recent spending forecast for the Asia/Pacific services market in Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan). The forecast includes the five-year compound annual growth rates (CAGRs) for the individual countries and markets from 2004 through 2009. IDC forecasts that the Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan) IT services market will grow by a CAGR of 11. 4% over the forecast period to US$45,252. 31 million by 2009. The study answers the following questions: What are IDC's predictions and assumptions relating to market forces affecting the IT services market, and what impact will they have on the market forecasts? Which countries spend the most on IT services? Also, which countries will experience the strongest CAGRs through 2009? Which verticals have the greatest opportunities for service providers? "A continual increase in infrastructure investment by developing countries is driving the growth rate. The PRC, India, Malaysia, and Thailand lead the pack of Asia/Pacific economies experiencing explosive growth in services. Following the forecast period, IDC expects that countries will mature and move beyond infrastructure services and increase their uptake of higher value-added services such as outsourcing. This shift, will be one of the factors that will contribute to the sustenance of double digit growth amongst the aforementioned countries," observes Venu Reddy, senior manager, Asia/Pacific Services, IDC Asia/Pacific.

"Economic data over 3Q04 raised concerns that the world economy is beginning to lose traction.
