Coordinating Business Imperatives with DevOps Execution

Melinda-Carol Ballou — Sat, 20 Dec 2025 05:00:00 GMT

This IDC Tech Buyer Survey Spotlight focuses on strategies for organizations to coordinate DevOps and business stakeholders to prioritize DevOps initiatives to align with key business imperatives. At a time of economic, geopolitical, competitive, and technology volatility, it is vital that companies leverage DevOps to effectively align with their dynamic business priorities and imperatives. IDC's Platform Engineering and DevOps Survey provides context for this document. Another question in that survey indicates that 70+% of organizations consider their DevOps strategy to drive high or extremely high business value, demonstrating a commensurate need for accountability for business outcomes with DevOps initiatives (such as the OKRs, KPIs, and value stream focus exemplified in this Tech Buyer Survey Spotlight).

IDC Market Glance: Healthcare Ecosystem, 4Q25

Lynne Dunbrack, Jennifer Eaton, Jeff Rivkin, Mutaz Shegewi — Sat, 20 Dec 2025 05:00:00 GMT

This IDC Market Glance provides a landscape view of the key technology markets for 2025. Vendors in each subcategory may evolve and change each year to create a representative collection.

"2025 ushered in new expectations for healthcare technology suppliers, switching up strategies related to selling features to those centered on demonstrating and owning measurable outcomes. The expectation from healthcare tech buyers is clear, bring AI‑enabled, data‑dense solutions that plug into existing workflows and demonstrate impact on quality, cost, and experience. As we look to 2026, that bar will only get higher. AI, analytics, and automation are now central to product road maps, especially for clinical decision support, operations, and administrative burden reduction. Technology vendors must be ready and be able to educate buyers on safety, explainability, and workflow integration instead of AI hype. This is changing sales cycles toward pilot-first engagements, proof-of-concept programs, and co-innovation with anchor customers."— Jennifer Eaton, research director, IDC Health Insights

Worldwide Development Languages, Environments, and Tools Market Shares, 2024: AI Tooling Continues to Reshape the Developer Tools Landscape

Adam Resnick — Sat, 20 Dec 2025 05:00:00 GMT

This IDC presentation delivers estimates of market size and vendor shares for the development languages, environments, and tools (DLET) market in 2024. The development languages, environments, and tools market is a large and dynamic environment that produces a diversity of software applications.

Artificial intelligence, particularly the explosive evolution from classical generative to agentic AI, is fundamentally transforming the developer tools market and catalyzing productivity gains across the software development life cycle. Agentic AI systems, capable of autonomous reasoning, planning, and executing complex multistep workflows, are redefining what it means to build software for the enterprises that have been able to integrate these technologies. This AI-driven transformation impacts almost every aspect of the DLET landscape: AI democratizes coding for a wide array of team members, powers personalized user experiences, enables intelligent edge computing deployments, automates cloud infrastructure management, and makes legacy modernization economically viable at scale. The convergence of these AI-amplified capabilities with surging enterprise demand for competitive differentiation creates sustained market expansion, as organizations adopting AI-powered development tools demonstrate measurable advantages in development velocity and innovation output.

"Autonomous agentic tooling represents a primary growth driver in the worldwide development languages, environments, and tools market. Vendors that successfully integrate autonomous capabilities with clear governance models, policy enforcement infrastructure, and exceptional developer usability will be best positioned to gain competitive advantage." — Adam Resnick, research manager, Modern Software Development and Developer Trends

2025年国内データセキュリティソリューション市場動向

Yasusuke Suzuki — Fri, 19 Dec 2025 05:00:00 GMT

本調査レポートは、2025年におけるデータセキュリティ市場動向と、AI（Artificial Intelligence）エージェントが自律的にエンタープライズ業務を行う時代への移行に伴う新たなセキュリティ要件を多角的に分析している。データセキュリティ市場は、AI利用に伴う、これまでとはタイプの異なるデータ管理リスクへの対応に迫られているほか、プライバシー強化技術の進化と社会実装の始まり、データ管理に関わる法規制の変化など、数多くの要因によって複雑な動きを見せている。こうした状況の下で、ITサプライヤーが、どのようにポジショニングを変え、時代の変化に対応すべきか、戦略的アドバイスを提供する。

IDC Japan、Infrastructure & Devicesのリサーチマネージャーである鈴木康介は「AIの活用段階は、人間が生成AIを利用する段階から、AIエージェントが自律的に業務を代行する段階へと移行しつつある。これに伴い、セキュリティの役割もリスクの遮断から、AIの生産性最大化へと再定義される必要がある。RAG（Retrieval-Augmented Generation：検索拡張生成）の精度向上を起点としたデータガバナンスの導入や、稼働中のAIを常時監視するセキュリティサービスの提供など、ITサプライヤーはAIを社会実装するための信頼できる基盤の提供者として、その地位を確立すべきである」と分析している。

AI大转型时代的渠道生态战略与机遇

Cindy Xin — Fri, 19 Dec 2025 05:00:00 GMT

本报告深刻剖析了AI大转型时代下中国渠道生态的战略转折点。研究指出，生成式AI与智能体技术的崛起正驱动市场进入高速增长期，并彻底重塑企业应用架构与商业模式。这一变革对传统渠道模式构成系统性冲击，催生了以“基础设施、能力组件、解决方案、市场运营”为核心的四层网状生态新结构。面对变局，IDC建议技术提供商必须重构其生态战略，从“管理者”转向“赋能者”与“共创者”，聚焦平台化赋能与价值共享的商业模式创新；同时，渠道合作伙伴需果断向AI能力与垂直行业深耕转型，以在智能经济的新格局中确立关键价值定位。

IDC中国渠道和生态体系研究总监辛鑫表示：“我们正见证一场从‘渠道’到‘生态’的范式革命。未来五年的竞争，将不再是产品或解决方案的竞争，而是生态体系与生态体系之间的对决。技术提供商能否成功赋能新型伙伴、共同创造价值，以及服务商能否快速转型为AI驱动的价值运营者，将直接决定其能否在智能经济的新时代占据领先地位。”

Adopting Dual-Use Technologies in Defense Tech

Alan Webber — Fri, 19 Dec 2025 05:00:00 GMT

This IDC Perspective discusses how defense and allied agencies and ministries should move forward with the acquisition of dual-use IT technologies while addressing the challenges both the government and commercial vendors face. Dual-use technologies are not new to government, just an under-realized resource as DoD shifts to be more agile and innovative. Manifesting this hybrid approach of using dual-use technologies in all but the most unique and specific defense applications will require close collaboration between government program managers, acquisition professionals, and commercial technology vendors.

"For government technology leaders, the dual-use era demands a shift in mindset — from procurement of hardware to management of digital ecosystems as agility, transparency, and interoperability are now mission imperatives. Those programs that operationalize hybrid architectures, automate compliance, and adopt outcome-driven procurement will set the pace for defense modernization across the United States, NATO, and Five Eyes nations." — Alan Webber, program vice president, National Security, Defense, and Intelligence, IDC

Experience-Led Transformation Takes Center Stage: HCLTech's Huma-Centered and AI-Integrated Vision for Australia/New Zealand

Sakshi Grover, Franco Chiam — Fri, 19 Dec 2025 05:00:00 GMT

This IDC Market Note summarizes the key themes and analyst observations from HCLTech's Analyst and Advisor Day 2025 in Sydney. The event showcased how HCLTech is evolving its positioning in the Australia/New Zealand (ANZ) markets by integrating its engineering strengths with expanded AI/generative AI (GenAI) capabilities, advisory depth, experience-centric operations, and industry-aligned repeatable solutions. Through client case studies, partner ecosystem updates, community programs, and conversations centered on human creativity integrated with AI, HCLTech outlined a more cohesive transformation narrative for the region. The company's ability to execute consistently, localize delivery, strengthen AI governance, and scale its portfolio of industry solutions will shape its competitiveness in the rapidly accelerating digital and AI adoption landscape of ANZ.

"Enterprises in ANZ are entering a phase in which engineering rigor, AI-driven automation, and secure-by-design architectures must operate as a unified fabric. HCLTech's narrative reflects this shift, combining applied AI with human-centered design, resilient operations, and strengthened security posture across the stack. As organisations accelerate AI adoption, modernise legacy environments, and consolidate fragmented platforms, providers capable of delivering integrated, governed, and outcome-driven transformation will hold a clear advantage in the ANZ market," says Sakshi Grover, senior research manager, Cybersecurity Products and Services, IDC Asia/Pacific.

"With HCLTech, its strength lies in its unwavering commitment to delivering consistent, high-impact solutions and services to the clients. This is brought forth by years of well-grounded knowledge, expertise, and experience — on-the-ground understandings of what organizations truly need to thrive. When enterprises work with their IT partners, they do not just look at technology solutions; they will partner with those they can work closely with to anticipate their evolving challenges, align with their strategic goals, and drive sustainable outcomes — day after day, project after project," says Franco Chiam, vice president, Cloud, Datacenter, and Telecommunications.
