The Rise of Artificial Intelligence in the Asia/Pacific Retail Industry
Jan-23 DOC # AP49942622 Insight
This IDC Perspective discusses the role of big data and analytics (BDA), artificial intelligence (AI), and Internet of Things (IoT) in the Asia/Pacific retail sector. It further discusses how the retail industry has changed in a post-COVID-19 scenario and how these technologies are now key to tackling these changes in customer behavior. Once implemented, BDA, AI, and IoT can automate, streamline, and help with making accurate decisions across the retail value chain. For retailers, opting out of these technologies could mean missing out on gaining a competitive advantage.
"Setting up a foundation for artificial intelligence, which allows scalability for future innovations and technology stacks, is key for retailers. Given the changing consumer behavior, leveraging this technology along with big data and analytics and machine learning is critical in being able to adapt and stay ahead of the competition," says Ayush Narain, retail analyst, IDC Retail Insights for Asia/Pacific.

IDC Survey: Future of Industry Ecosystems — Retail Industry
IDC Survey: Future of Industry Ecosystems — Retail Industry
Dec-22 DOC # US49889822 Presentation
This IDC Survey examines results from IDC's Future of Industry Ecosystems Survey. In May and June 2022, we fielded our second annual global survey to 1,270 executives across 5 regions and 11 countries. The goal was to determine executive and business leader sentiment on industry ecosystems, maturity of current approach, and future plans for IT and use case investment. Respondents spanned multiple domains and included CXOs, business-line leadership, and IT management.
Key findings from the survey include:
Another key area of focus for organizations when they consider the design and operation of their industry ecosystem is improvement of customer, consumer, citizen, or patient engagement and experience. That is, how does the shared, open approach of industry ecosystems (shared data and insights, shared applications, shared operations and expertise) better facilitate this?
This IDC Survey on the future of industry ecosystems is focused on the retail industry cut of this survey data. Retailers have faced consistent headwinds of the pandemic, ongoing supply and demand disruption, and inflation (among others) over the past two years and are realizing the benefits that industry ecosystems can provide.
Sharing data and insights, having access to a varied set of applications, and working closely with an expanding set of industry ecosystem partners simply make their business more resilient, innovative, and able to meet dynamic customer and consumer needs. As retailers begin to look outward to partner with other industries for new business models, the importance of this shared, open approach across ecosystems, enabled by a blended physical and digital way of working and delivery of customer experiences, will continue to rise.

This IDC Perspective analyzes IDC's 2022 Future of Industry Ecosystems Global Survey data on leading industry ecosystem uses cases. One of the key questions we asked in IDC's 2022 Future of Industry Ecosystems Survey is, what are the top use cases that organizations prioritize with their partners. This document analyzes those priorities across the fundamental industry ecosystem programs of shared data and insights, shared applications, and shared operations and expertise.
"The world we live in today is uncertain, with a myriad of disruption present daily. For an organization to be truly digitally transformed, flexibility needs to be in place through an internal and external set of data, applications, operations, and expertise, securely shared through an open, cloud environment with industry ecosystem partners. It is through this platform that organizations will navigate the storms of disruption and continue to thrive. New use cases will evolve, joint ventures will emerge, and the end customer, citizen, consumer, or patient experience will continually improve," said Jeffrey Hojlo, research vice president, Future of Industry Ecosystems, at IDC.

Worldwide Monthly Technology Investment Monitor: November 2022
Dec-22 DOC # US49819022 Presentation
This IDC Market Presentation highlights the worldwide monthly technology investment monitor for November 2022. Beginning in early 2022, waves of interconnected economic, political, and social disruptions threatened to batter enterprises around the world for the next several years. Those organizations that try to navigate around the storms of disruption by delaying their digital investments risk find themselves behind their competitors when the recession is over, but all will need to adopt new recession response strategies in what would be the first recession of the as-a-service era. We continue to track how these ongoing storms of disruption impact technology investment and operational priorities.
IDC's Global Technology Thought Leadership group conducts a monthly survey (IDC's Future Enterprise Resiliency and Spending Survey) to understand how IT and business leaders in enterprises around the world are assessing risks and addressing cost management for their growing portfolio of technology resources. In the Wave 9 survey conducted in September/October 2022, IDC asked 817 IT decision makers in North America, Asia/Pacific, and Europe to indicate how concerns about inflation, recession skills shortages, and other developments are affecting investment plans in major technology sectors with a focus on customer experience, operations, and industry ecosystems.

How Important Is Web3 and Decentralization to Industry Ecosystems?
How Important Is Web3 and Decentralization to Industry Ecosystems?
Nov-22 DOC # US49855222 Presentation
This IDC Survey Spotlight shares data from the recent IDC Future Enterprise Resiliency Survey (FERS), focusing on the key considerations of industry ecosystem technology strategy and comparing this with the actual technology investment today. IDC defines Web3 as a collection of open technologies and protocols supporting the trustless use and storage of decentralized data, knowledge, and value. Content is decentralized on DAOs (decentralized autonomous organizations), with control and value retained by users. Blockchains, NFTs, and smart contracts will play a critical role in establishing immutable transaction, communication, and collaboration that is seamless and does not have to be validated every time (i.e., "trustless").
We think as industry ecosystems evolve to include a varied set of partners, customers, suppliers, service providers, and public entities, that Web3 will be leveraged as a complement to classic enterprise business networks to provide new sources of data, innovation, applications, and expertise. IDC's 2022 Future of Industry Ecosystems Global Survey, July 2022, and IDC's Future Enterprise Resiliency Survey, October 2022, show that interest in Web3, as well as DAOs and metaverse, is strong. While it is still in the early, experimental days, organizations see how Web3 can provide a foundation, a fabric if you will, that can assure trust, enable innovation and, perhaps most importantly, scale activity.
For additional research and analysis on the opportunity for Web3 and industry ecosystems, we recommend reading the following documents:

Defining the Future of Industry Ecosystems
Defining the Future of Industry Ecosystems
Nov-22 DOC # US49791522 Insight
This IDC Perspective analyzes the need and opportunity for this extended approach to industry ecosystems, one of the multiple types of ecosystems that companies will employ today to remain competitive, address disruption, and grow their business. Industries are expanding the capability, capacity, insight, and expertise of their teams through ecosystems, within and outside their industry.
"Why are industry ecosystems critical for success in the digitally transformed, disrupted world we live in today? Because the complexity of products, supply chains, digital experiences, and changing market and customer/consumer needs are too great for any one organization to address on its own. Organizations must continually morph with shifts in trends that will disrupt their industry value chains. As organizations understand these shifts, they form new, additional partnerships in industry ecosystems — within their industry or across others — that deliver value, create resiliency, foster innovation, and anticipate threats and opportunities," said Jeffrey Hojlo, research vice president, Future of Industry Ecosystems at IDC.

IDC Survey: Future of Industry Ecosystems — Transportation and Logistics
Oct-22 DOC # US49737622 Presentation
This IDC Survey on the future of industry ecosystems is focused on the transportation and logistics industry cut of the survey data. The past two years of supply chain bottlenecks and capacity issues have made organizations across different industries realize that they must have multiple transportation options in place to address the current opportunity or challenge at hand. That is, a failover approach that provides multiple options at any given point, based on industry expertise, performance, and/or geography. Logistics carriers need to work within an ecosystem of providers, often competitive, supporting first to mid-mile and last-mile delivery of goods and services. This document highlights this opportunity and approach through the lens of the transportation and logistics provider.
In May and June 2022, we fielded our second annual global survey to 1,270 executives across 5 regions and 11 countries. The goal was to determine executive and business leader sentiment on industry ecosystems, maturity of current approach, and future plans for IT and use case investment. Respondents spanned multiple domains included CXO, business line leadership, and IT management.
Key findings from the survey include:
Another key area of focus for organizations when they consider the design and operation of their industry ecosystem is improvement of customer, consumer, citizen, or patient engagement and experience. That is, how does the shared, open approach of industry ecosystems (shared data and insights, shared applications, shared operations and expertise) better facilitate this?

EY Split – A Game Changer?
EY Split – A Game Changer?
Sep-22 DOC # lcUS49689422 IDC Link
The consideration by private partnerships, like EY, of whether to separate auditing from advisory or consulting seems to come up every decade or so, and the decision is not taken lightly because of the enormous impact on each firm's partners and staff, all its clients, and all the associated regulatory entities involved worldwide, including the impact this decision can have on the overall services market. That EY audits nine of the world's top 10 technology firms creates limitations on services that can be delivered to clients or JVs and partnerships into which the firm can enter for developing products (think technology providers and private equity firms), and with the enormous role that technology now plays in creating the next generation of digital businesses, EY decided it needs to effectuate a split to create more value for itself and its clients.

Aug-22 DOC # US49525722 IDC DecisionScape
This IDC study presents the Asia/Pacific results of IDC's 2022 Digital Supply Chain Resiliency MaturityScape Benchmark Survey and should be viewed as a supplement to IDC MaturityScape: Digital Supply Chain Resiliency 1.0 (IDC #US48402418, December 2021). Together, they provide a comprehensive overview of IDC's Digital Supply Chain Resiliency maturity model.
"To be competitive in the Asia/Pacific region, companies must be agile in adapting to disruption and be willing to adopt new business models to seize opportunities and mitigate risk," says Stephanie Krishnan, associate vice president for IDC's Asia/Pacific Supply Chain program. "This requires a resilient supply chain that can monitor supply chain activities in real time, analyse scenarios, and then act on the resulting insights. Supply chain resiliency is no longer the domain of business contingency planning but, rather, a capability of companies and leadership teams that requires the cumulation of transformations internally and between business partners to mitigate risk and ensure consistent delivery against revenue and profit goals."
