In fact, the quality of the color printout is the top attraction factor for SMBs to replace their black-and-white-only printers with color-capable printers," says Tong-Yen Lau, senior analyst, IDC Asia/Pacific SMB research.

Review Worldwide and U.S. Hardware Support and Deploy Services 2005-2009 Forecast / IDC Research:This IDC study is a multidimensional market-sizing and forecast document for hardware support and deploy services. In addition to sizing the market, it discusses the key trends shaping the market and driving its growth. Market sizing and trend information is provided by region and includes support service activities such as telephone support, electronic monitoring, and maintenance. Key trends in the hardware support and deploy services market forecast include the following: IDC believes onsite service will still be in demand, despite the increased use of electronic monitoring and other Internet-based services. The Americas region will continue to dominate the other regions in terms of growth. Hardware vendors should work to develop stronger relationships with their channels to help them reach greater numbers of customers. New technologies will increase the growth in hardware support and deploy services, while on the balance, enterprises will still spend conservatively. "Vendors providing hardware support and deploy services are challenged to meet the ever-rising tide of small new competitors looking to encroach upon the business," said Tim Grieser, program vice president, Enterprise System Management Software. "It will be important for vendors to establish the right relationships to continue growth in their markets. ".

Review Worldwide SRM Applications 2005-2009 Forecast and 2002-2004 Vendor Shares: Contract Management, Core Purchasing, Strategic Sourcing, and Supplier Collaboration Segments / IDC Research:This IDC study provides the latest worldwide market shares of more than 100 supplier relationship management applications vendors for 2002–2004 by four major segments: contract management, core purchasing, strategic sourcing, and supplier collaboration. The supplier relationship management applications market is going through different stages of development, with vendors in segments like strategic sourcing growing rapidly because of globalization and increased outsourced activities. "With supply easing and commodity prices stabilizing, many SRM vendors and their customers could benefit from this upswing,'' said Albert Pang, research director of enterprise applications at IDC. "However, growing pains are stalling the momentum of vendors in segments like contract management because of their inability to broaden their reach across different industries. ".

Review Worldwide LCD TV 2005-2009 Forecast and Analysis: Attack of the (LCD TV) Clones / IDC Research:This IDC study examines the worldwide market for LCD televisions. It is obvious that the price wars in the years ahead look to be nasty for LCD TV vendors, although they will no doubt be watched with glee by consumers, knowing that absolute category prices are coming down and that their favorite brand names have to follow suit to remain competitive. In fact, the first wave of LCD TV vendor consolidation may not claim the new kids on the block but may instead strike first at diversified companies such as HP, Mitsubishi, or Hitachi that have established equity levels borne from a wide variety of products. "Because LCD TVs are just a line item in the books of the aforementioned expensive infrastructure electronics entities, their management may realize sooner rather than later that it is simply not worth it to try to compete with the top display brands while slogging in the ASP mud with the no-name companies. Therefore, focused niche brands such as ILO or Maxent may survive the short term, and be able to stick around long enough to make decent money before being displaced to other more price-sensitive markets. " — Eric Haruki, research manager, IDC's Displays and Projectors research.

"The network consulting and integration services market has sustained steady growth through 2004," says Lee Doyle, group vice president, Network Infrastructure. "The development of new technologies such as wireless and market consolidation will drive growth into this market through the forecast period. ".

Review Asia/Pacific (Excluding Japan) Storage Software 2005-2009 Forecast and Analysis / IDC Research:This IDC study provides a bottom-up sizing of the Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan) (APEJ) storage software market in 2004 and presents forecast data for 2005–2009. "The APEJ storage software market totaled US$503. 2 million in 2004, for a robust 28. 5% increase over the 2003 total of US$391. 6 million," says Vivian Tero, senior analyst, System Infrastructure Software Research. "Backup and archive software continues to account for a big chunk of the storage software revenue, but demand for storage replication is picking up and is attributed to the continued decline in disk and tape prices, increasing vendor support for heterogeneous platforms, regulatory compliance, and high availability requirements. " Tero also adds, "In the short term, we will continue to see strong demand for storage as end users view data protection and business continuity as an investment priority. ".

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. ".
