- Turkey Enterprise Application Software 2008–2012 Forecast and 2007 Vendor Shares
This IDC study provides a detailed overview of the Turkey market for integrated enterprise application suite (EAS) package software products. EAS vendors tracked in this study include IAS, IFS, Microsoft, Likom, Logo Business Solutions, Oracle, Netsis, SAP, and Soft Yazilim. This study includes detailed qualitative and quantitative information, analysis, and forecasts that help to answer the following key questions: What are the defining characteristics of the Turkish EAS market? What is the current size of the EAS market in Turkey, and what is the forecast potential of the market? What is current spending on EAS software in Turkey in the various vertical markets and end-user segments? Who are the leading players in the EAS market in Turkey, and how are they positioning themselves to capitalize on market growth? Which industry segments are investing in EAS solutions, and how will future spending patterns affect market development? What are the defining characteristics of the EAS installed base in Turkey in terms of vertical sectors and end-user market segments? How will political and economic conditions specific to Turkey affect the market? "While large and very large businesses continue to represent the mainstay of spending in Turkey's EAS market, small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) are becoming an increasingly important revenue stream for vendors. L&M fees have become more affordable, which has led many SMBs to migrate to integrated enterprise applications. However, IDC expects growth within the Turkish market to slow as the global economic downturn dampens overall IT investments, particularly in 2009 and 2010. In general, we expect to see more firms tighten their belts to make the most of investments already made. During this period, vendors can expect tougher competition for fewer large-scale projects, which will make revenues derived from maintenance contracts and sales of extended functionalities to current installed base customers ever more important." – Senior Research Analyst Mukesh Chulani, IDC - 2008年 国内企業における SOAデマンド調査： SOAの利用価値とは？
The content of this document was written in Japanese 本調査レポートは、国内企業におけるSOA（Service Oriented Architecture：サービス指向アーキテクチャ）の利用の現状と導入の成功要因を、IDCが実施したユーザー企業に対するアンケート調査結果、およびSOA導入企業の事例調査を基に分析したものである。さらにこれらの分析を基に、ベンダーに対する提言を行っている。 国内企業におけるSOA（Service-oriented Architecture：サービス指向アーキテクチャ）の普及は一定の進捗を遂げたといえる。しかし、企業がSOAの導入効果を十分に実現するためには、さらに取り組むべき課題がある。「ユーザー企業のSOA導入／展開における課題解決の支援のために、ベンダーはさまざまなサービスを提供することが期待されている。そこで重要となるのは、単なるSOAベースのシステム設計／開発に留まらず、初期導入時のユーザー社内での承認過程を支援すること、ユーザー企業におけるSOA戦略策定を支援すること、SOAの安定運用のための技術的支援を行うことである」とIDC Japan ITサービスのリサーチマネージャーである伊藤 未明は述べている。 - FinTech DNA: The State of FinTech Market and Providers
This Financial Insights Pivot Table discusses the state of the fintech market and its providers. For those firms serving the financial services industry, 2009 will be the most difficult year ever. Top institutions are preoccupied either with shoring up their balance sheets or with acquiring merged institutions. New projects will be few and far between, and it will be those vendors that are both financially sound and can strike the most attractive deals that will succeed. There will be a flight to quality, as banks look for vendors that are fiscally sound, as well as knowledgeable partners. Weaker vendors, like the weaker institutions, will be acquired. - North American Insurance Industry IT Spending 2008–2012 Forecast

This IDC study analyzes the impacts of the current conditions in the global financial crisis on the financial industry, the real economy, consumer confidence, and government macro-economic policies, and provides IDC's Top 10 Predictions for China's ICT Market. The predictions include the general IT market, software and service outsourcing, IT infrastructure, PC and consumer electronics, industrial and small and medium-sized business (SMB) market, telecommunications market, and the Internet, and other fields. "2009 will see an economic slowdown both globally and in China. China's IT market will be influenced with a 4.4% drop in its growth rate compared to the pre-crisis figure. China's IT market will however retain a higher growth rate relative to other countries around the world. The wide-scale investment under the government's economic stimulus plan and the World Exposition Shanghai 2010 creates a bull market for China's IT industry. Manufacturers who will seize these opportunities will turn crisis into opportunity," says Kitty Fok, vice president, End-User Research & Statistics Group and Greater China Research. - Creating Competitive Advantage for Insurers with Spatial Information
This Financial Insights report proposes that insurers use spatial information as a key enabler of building and maintaining a strong competitive position. Barry Rabkin, senior research analyst, Insurance Advisory Service, states, "Competitive advantage is hard to find and harder yet to keep. For the insurance industry, which is 400+ years old, competitive advantage has proven to be a very rare capability. However, leading insurance companies will use spatial technology to determine the where and when of potential and actual loss events and the impact of those loss events on people, places, and physical artifacts to create a stronger competitive position in their markets of choice. The stronger insurers will be the ones using spatial technology to establish target markets, dynamically identify risk accumulation at points of inspection or underwriting, and provide spatially customized service to claimants, policyholders, and producers."
