IDC Tracker

IDC's Worldwide Semiannual Services Tracker® provides detailed, timely, and accurate information on the global IT and business services markets. It provides vendor revenue share and annual forecast data on semiannual basis across 53 geographies and 14 market segments. It helps global and local players to assess services market dynamics and benchmark themselves. There are two core deliverables. The first allows flexible viewing of five years of historical vendor revenue by country and service line, highlighting market size and market share for each firm. The second provides a five-year forecast of annual data updated semiannually, allowing one to evaluate enterprises' and government agencies' services spending across different service markets, regions, and countries. Essentially, the services tracker provides a holistic view of the past, present, and future of the services world. Also included are add-ons as well as a qualitative summary of "what has changed" (i.e., vendor "historical changes"), market forecast updates, and so forth.
