Cisco Cloud Control is Cisco's attempt to turn four decades of product breadth into a single operating plane for the agentic era. It unifies networking, security, AI infrastructure, observability, and collaboration alongside third-party tools under one login, one view, and one operating model shared by human teams and AI agents, with identity and policy built into the control path rather than bolted on. </P><P>"Cisco Cloud Control is a credible attempt to turn portfolio breadth into an operating plane for the agentic era. Its key differentiation is the harness itself, with identity, policy, and enforcement built into the control path rather than bolted onto a dashboard. That is what lets agents act on real systems without breaking them and with human-in-the-loop for trust," says Archana Venkatraman, senior research director, Observability, AIOps and agentic governance, IDC. </P> Market Note Thu, 02 Jul 2026 04:00:00 GMT Archana Venkatraman https://my.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=META54625826&utm_medium=rss_feed&utm_source=alert&utm_campaign=rss_syndication <P>This IDC Vendor Profile examines Netcracker's evolution from a telecom-focused BSS/OSS software vendor into a Prime SI, with global and regional presence across the Middle East and Africa. It provides an overview of the company, its 2026 strategy and AI-led delivery model, and its regional engagements with operators including e&, Vodafone Oman, and Zain — anchored by the transformation of a tier 1 Middle East, Turkey, and Africa (META) operator as a regional proof point. The study aims to inform global and regional telecom operators, IT buyers, channel partners, and other digital ecosystem players about Netcracker's regional market position, transformation accountability model, and outlook through 2026 and beyond.</P> Vendor Profile Thu, 02 Jul 2026 04:00:00 GMT Tolga Yalcin https://my.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=CHC54591226&utm_medium=rss_feed&utm_source=alert&utm_campaign=rss_syndication <P>IDC市场竞争报告对喷墨、A3&A4激光市场进行了详细分析，总结了打印外设数据收集的核心洞察。该报告包含高价值的营销洞见，市场核心趋势以及厂商市场份额分析。以下是报告涵盖的主要内容。 </P><UL><LI>执行概要 </LI><LI>市场综述 </LI><LI>产品分析 </LI><LI>竞争分析 </LI><LI>细分市场分析 </LI><LI>渠道分析 </LI><LI>市场预测</LI></UL><P>本报告中的数据和观点引用来自IDC《全球打印外设市场季度跟踪报告》（1Q26）。</P> Market Presentation Tue, 30 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT Donna Wang https://my.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=US54661126&utm_medium=rss_feed&utm_source=alert&utm_campaign=rss_syndication <P>This IDC Perspective examines why many enterprise AI initiatives stall between experimentation and scaled impact. The document argues that the limiting factor is often not model access but the condition of the digital core: app sprawl, fragmented data, brittle integration, and uneven governance. The document also outlines why technology leaders should treat infrastructure readiness as a business capability and provides guidance for reducing structural complexity so AI can be deployed with greater speed, control, and enterprise value.</P><P>“AI readiness depends on infrastructure readiness. Enterprises cannot consistently scale AI on top of fragmented application portfolios, brittle integration layers, and poorly governed data estates,” says Dr. Ken Knapton, adjunct research advisor for IDC’s IT Executive Programs (IEP). “As AI adoption accelerates, buyers should focus less on adding isolated tools and more on simplifying the application estate, governing data, and modernizing the integration patterns that determine whether AI can scale safely and deliver measurable value.”</P> IDC Perspective Tue, 30 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT Dr. Ken Knapton https://my.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=JPE54218026&utm_medium=rss_feed&utm_source=alert&utm_campaign=rss_syndication <P>In the Japan digital business (DB) professional services market, strong demand for IT modernization and AI implementation is driving the market, while these organizational transformation trends are gaining momentum in earnest, and market growth continues. From a long-term perspective, service vendors will need to advance initiatives toward building outcome-based (business results/execution results-based) business models, considering these current circumstances.</P><P>"This IDC study summarizes the 2025 results and market forecast for 2026–2030 for the Japan DB professional services market, categorized by five service segments across two domains: business services and IT services. In 2025, the DB professional services market achieved strong growth, supported by robust demand primarily, driven by AI modernization and adoption. IDC forecasts that high growth rates in the double-digit percentages will continue across all five service segments from 2025 onward, with the market size reaching nearly JPY4 trillion by 2030," says Akira Sugawara, research manager, AI and Automation at IDC Japan.</P><P>This is the English translation of the Japanese document (IDC #<B><A href="/getdoc.jsp?containerId=JPJ53500826">JPJ53500826</A></B>).</P> Market Presentation Tue, 30 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT Akira Sugawara https://my.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=US53449926&utm_medium=rss_feed&utm_source=alert&utm_campaign=rss_syndication <P>This IDC presentation provides an overview of the 2026–2030 market size and forecast for global spending on enterprise infrastructure to power enterprise workloads based on IDC’s Worldwide Semiannual Enterprise Infrastructure Tracker: Workloads, 2H25, released in May 2026. IDC reports this data by market value, unit shipments, and exabytes of storage.</P><P>AI-driven workloads such as AI life cycle and text and media analytics continue to drive the market forward, and the impact of AI is now notably affecting nearly all workload infrastructure demand as it becomes integrated into a large majority of workflows in the workload taxonomy. While the market may tighten somewhat as datacenter space and capacity buildout start to hit a wall and sovereignty concerns grow, we can expect, over the forecast period, these developments to continue to push the workloads market forward.</P> Market Presentation Tue, 30 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT Max Pepper, Kuba Stolarski, Natalya Yezhkova https://my.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=US54540926&utm_medium=rss_feed&utm_source=alert&utm_campaign=rss_syndication <P>This IDC presentation provides IDC's forecast for the worldwide IT consulting markets for 2026–2030.

The research contained in this forecast includes advice to AM service providers, an analysis of key market and industry trends by importing market, key market drivers and inhibitors, significant market developments, and highlights of key changes from the prior forecast.</P><P>"Worldwide AM services growth continued its upward trajectory throughout 2025. IDC research has found that application portfolio growth is stabilizing, but diversity and complexity of application types is not. Indications from buyer studies and vendor interviews revealed that service provider abilities to optimize applications as well as support application modernization and improve cost management for application portfolio management continue to be key drivers for an expanded set of organizations to increase application management to third-party providers. Service providers are already hard at work improving their services capabilities and driving higher levels of automation and analytics to improve services delivery and prevent service margin erosion. Providers will continue to increase asset and AI investments over the forecast period to improve differentiation and capture a greater share of wallet from existing customers as well as crowd our competitors that are slower to adjust delivery models in favor of more capitalized service delivery." — Peter Marston, research director, Worldwide Intelligent Application Services at IDC</P> Market Presentation Tue, 30 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT Peter Marston https://my.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=META53630725&utm_medium=rss_feed&utm_source=alert&utm_campaign=rss_syndication <P>This IDC presentation examines the 2025 market shares of leading vendors in the UAE IT services market.
