IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Airlines Professional Services 2026–2027 Vendor Assessment

Ravikant Sharma — Wed, 28 Oct 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC study analyzed the solution offerings and go-to-market strategies of professional services firms that serve airlines and airports worldwide.

“Airlines and airports are under growing pressure to modernize passenger experience, operations, and enterprise systems, even as budgets and timelines stay tight. Given the scale and complexity of that work, they rely on professional services partners not just for delivery capacity but for owned platforms, AI-augmented delivery models, and pricing structures that reflect how the work actually gets done. Vendors that can pair that capability with durable technology partnerships and a track record in aviation standards work will be positioned to lead this market,” said Ravikant Sharma, research director, IDC Public Sector.

IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Warehouse Management for Manufacturing 2026 Vendor Assessment

Stephanie Krishnan, Simon Ellis — Wed, 28 Oct 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC study evaluates software vendors serving manufacturers’ warehouse management system (WMS) needs. This document covers vendor capabilities and strategies for inventory control, warehouse workflows, integration with manufacturing execution and warehouse execution/control systems, and AI-enabled operational decisioning. The assessment is based on customer interviews, vendor briefings, and IDC MarketScape methodology, and includes vendor profiles, strengths and challenges, and buyer guidance.

“Manufacturers running WMS platforms installed 5 to 10 years ago are reopening decisions they thought were settled, not because the old system failed to deliver but because of what AI and tighter automation integration might now make possible. Vendors that can show a production customer behind every AI claim will separate themselves from the ones still selling a road map,” said Stephanie Krishnan, associate vice president, Manufacturing and Supply Chain, IDC Insights.

AI Token工厂的网络与存储加速

Xiangdong Hu, Laura Chen — Mon, 26 Oct 2026 04:00:00 GMT

本IDC市场看法基于公开资料、IDC Token经济与智能体研究及MLPerf Inference v6.0基准测试数据，深度分析AI时代数据中心从“算力竞赛”向“Token效率竞赛”的范式转移，以及网络与存储在此进程中的加速作用。核心发现聚焦于三大转变：评估标尺从“每美元FLOPS”转向“每Token成本”——推理负载占比将达70%；网络与存储从“连接管道”“数据仓库”升级为决定效率上限的“神经系统”“工作台”，二者合计仅占基础设施TCO的约16%—18%，却决定五分之四以上资产的运行效率；网络利用率从60%提至95%、以存代算使TTFT改善约9—20倍，叠加企业级Token成本一年下降67%的剪刀差，正推动AI从“烧钱”走向“盈利”。文章从AI网络四维度、AI原生存储四层架构及Token经济学三个转向等维度，为技术提供商与服务提供商提供可操作的建设与投资建议。

“AI时代的数据中心之争，不是比谁买的GPU更多，而是比谁的GPU真正在产出Token。核心矛盾不在于算力不足，而在于网络与存储这两个隐性杠杆被长期忽视——不到五分之一的投资，却决定五分之四以上资产的运行效率；在推理占企业AI预算超80%的今天，这种错配随时可能吞噬GPU投资的回报。能赢下来的Token工厂，一定是那些把网络利用率和存储缓存命中率当作一等公民来经营的玩家。”——胡向东，IDC企业网络基础设施领域研究总监。

2026 IDC FinTech Rankings and Real Results Program

Jerry Silva — Fri, 23 Oct 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Now in its 23rd year, the IDC FinTech Rankings and Real Results program has not only continued to show the strength of technology investments in the financial services industry but has also demonstrated how AI is delivering real business value in those leading institutions that deploy AI enterprise-wide.

“AI has become a dominant force in technology spend across financial services, as indicated by the revenue growth among top IT providers worldwide,” said Jerry Silva, program vice president, IDC Financial Insights. “The deployment of AI across multiple operational and business environments is already creating value for financial institutions, as demonstrated by the IDC Real Results case studies.”

Q3 2026 AI Announcements and What They Mean for Edge Operating Models

Olga Yashkova — Fri, 23 Oct 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC Market Note reviews Q3 2026 AI announcements with implications for edge, including U.S. and EU policy, on-premises AI hardware, storage and security offerings, and Huawei’s device and robotics ecosystem. It draws on IDC’s EdgeView Survey 2026 and shows that edge is now business-critical and increasingly AI-funded, while operating models and governance lag.

“Edge has become business-critical faster than operating models have matured. Organizations that settle ownership and resilience, prove ROI, and plan infrastructure site by site before scaling AI will be best positioned to capture value,” said Olga Yashkova, Research Manager at IDC.

UiPath FUSION 2026: Mapping the Future of Work Across Deterministic and Agentic Systems

Amy Loomis, Ph.D., Melinda-Carol Ballou, Andrew Gens — Fri, 23 Oct 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC Market Note examines UiPath FUSION 2026, where the company organized its announcements around the Map of Work, a governed record of enterprise context at the center of a capture, build, run, and learn loop. UiPath positioned deterministic automation as a guardrail for agentic AI, paired its new Cartographer product with a named human role, and restructured Maestro. The document assesses the security, testing, and document workflow implications and what they mean for roles and teams. It identifies open questions on agent validation and release timing, and advises buyers to match automation to consequence, staff the map owner role, and require evidence of validation.

“Agentic AI is changing the jobs people do as much as the tasks machines perform.” — Amy Loomis, PhD, group vice president, Future of Work, IDC

IDC MarketScape: Worldwide AI-Enabled Manufacturing ERP 2026 Vendor Assessment

Sarah Lee, Mickey North Rizza, Bo Lykkegaard — Thu, 22 Oct 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC study presents the IDC MarketScape assessment for worldwide AI-enabled manufacturing ERP applications, evaluating 16 vendors across strategies and capabilities specific to process and discrete manufacturing. The study finds the market separating into enterprise, midmarket, and SMB segments, with environmental health and safety functionality the widest point of differentiation and evidence quality, shipping and customer validated versus road map or aspirational, as important to assess as the AI capability itself. It discusses the most important criteria for manufacturers to consider when selecting a solution.

"Manufacturers should match the market segment: enterprise, midmarket, or SMB of ERP vendors to the complexity of their plant operations, not simply their company size, or risk paying for breadth they don't need or selecting capabilities that haven't been proven in a comparable environment," said Sarah Lee, global senior research director, Manufacturing IT Strategies, IDC Manufacturing Insights.

Live Content Translation and Localization in the Media and Entertainment Industry: 2026–2030 Market Analysis

Alex Holtz — Thu, 22 Oct 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC Perspective sizes the market for live content translation and localization in media and entertainment from 2026 to 2030. It models a $430 million opportunity in 2026 growing to $850 million to $950 million by 2030 in the conservative planning case ($1.5 billion base case), examines the challenges and opportunities, and sets out a go-to-market playbook and enterprise adoption road map for technology suppliers.

"The decisive change is economic rather than technical. A single live production can now fan out into many addressable language products without duplicating the production and transport chain for each language," said Alex Holtz, research director, Worldwide Media and Entertainment Digital Strategies at IDC.
