IDC identified a plethora of significant players in this market and analyzed their current offerings as well as planned updates.</P><P>"Gaps in monitoring, automation, and orchestration constitute a major hindrance in today's management of datacenter facilities," according to Luis Fernandes, senior research manager, Cloud and Datacenter Research at IDC. "By choosing a best-in-class software solution to manage their datacenter facilities, IT and OT managers are effectively choosing a path of less resistance, with fewer instances of unforeseen incidents which, in turn, lead to overall better human resource management, reduced total cost of ownership, and less unplanned downtime."</P> IDC MarketScape Wed, 02 Sep 2026 04:00:00 GMT Luis Fernandes, Mary Johnston Turner https://my.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=US53633826&utm_medium=rss_feed&utm_source=alert&utm_campaign=rss_syndication <P>This IDC Survey is the first part of the executive summary of IDC’s 2026 <I>SAP Infrastructure </I><I>Buyer</I><I>View</I> <I>S</I><I>urvey</I> findings. It explores the complexity organizations face in managing SAP’s evolving product demands and how that and other factors impact SAP deployments and infrastructure requirements. The survey examines where SAP workloads run today and how that’s shifting, including a detailed analysis of ERP and data management trends. Finally, the survey examines SAP HANA migration trends and deployment characteristics. </P> IDC Survey Wed, 02 Sep 2026 04:00:00 GMT Max Pepper https://my.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=EUR154797826&utm_medium=rss_feed&utm_source=alert&utm_campaign=rss_syndication <P>This IDC presentation presents the five-year forecast for the EMEA financial applications market.</P><P>“Regulatory change is doing more to drive financial application investment in EMEA right now than efficiency arguments alone ever could. The open question is whether vendors can convert that compliance-driven spending into durable adoption of agentic capabilities in financial close and forecasting, rather than one-off projects that end once the regulatory deadline passes,” says Bo Lykkegaard, Associate VP, Software Research Europe, IDC.</P> Market Forecast Wed, 02 Sep 2026 04:00:00 GMT Bo Lykkegaard https://my.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=US54342826&utm_medium=rss_feed&utm_source=alert&utm_campaign=rss_syndication <P>"The role of archiving software has shifted from a passive compliance requirement to something more proactive. AI capabilities enable archiving software to quickly surface risky emails, chats, and calls, detecting timely compliance risks and delivering speedy insight," said Johnny Yu, research manager, Infrastructure Software Platforms and Core Infrastructure at IDC.</P> Market Share Wed, 02 Sep 2026 04:00:00 GMT Johnny Yu https://my.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=lcUS54910226&utm_medium=rss_feed&utm_source=alert&utm_campaign=rss_syndication <P>Salesforce and Anthropic announced Claudeforce. This new partnership launches with Salesforce in Claude, a plugin available to select pilot customers now, with open beta expected in September 2026. It signals a shift in the AI partner ecosystem, where large enterprise application providers combine with AI models to leverage deterministic, trusted enterprise applications alongside the power of nondeterministic AI models and natural language interfaces. It also solidifies Anthropic's focus on bringing frontier reasoning and intelligence to commercial enterprises by collaborating with large enterprise systems of record. </P> IDC Link Tue, 01 Sep 2026 04:00:00 GMT Tim Law, Shari Lava, Neil Ward-Dutton, Max Pepper https://my.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=lcUS54910426&utm_medium=rss_feed&utm_source=alert&utm_campaign=rss_syndication <P>Cisco's expansion of Secure AI Factory with NVIDIA to rack-scale infrastructure through a partnership with Supermicro gives enterprises another full-stack AI infrastructure option as the market shifts from large-scale training to AI inference and agentic implementation, which carry support and governance requirements that training clusters do not. The partnership blends Cisco's reputation as a reliable enterprise infrastructure provider, built on the company's engineered networking and compute portfolio, with Supermicro's speed to market as an ODM implementer of NVIDIA reference designs for AI-dense servers, as well as rack-scale solutions like NVL72; the adoption of Spectrum-X networking rather than in-house Cisco designs shows how the NVIDIA release cadence is resetting the pace of enterprise infrastructure deployments and engineering.</P> IDC Link Tue, 01 Sep 2026 04:00:00 GMT Brent Ellis, Kuba Stolarski, Ashish Nadkarni, Matthew Eastwood https://my.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=US54776126&utm_medium=rss_feed&utm_source=alert&utm_campaign=rss_syndication <P>This IDC Vendor Profile examines TELUS Digital, a provider of digital customer experience services that span customer experience management, digital and IT solutions, AI and data services, and trust and safety.

The findings inform go-to-market strategies for technology suppliers and service providers active in decarbonization, energy efficiency, and asset optimization. This survey examines how construction firms are executing energy transition programs in 2026 with a dedicated construction base of 45 respondents.</P><P>This presentation analyzes where energy transition execution is landing across jobsites, equipment, and construction operations.

IDC views the release, paired with the rebrand and an expanded PwC relationship, as a deliberate push to move Agentic GRC from marketing language to a defensible product category before larger risk platforms catch up.</P> IDC Link Tue, 01 Sep 2026 04:00:00 GMT Philip D.

IDC agrees that the world is underprepared for AI-enabled cyber-risk but views the letter's signatories with some skepticism: The same frontier AI companies warning that their own agents are going rogue are also the ones selling the model access, funding, and defensive AI products, including OpenAI's Daybreak, Anthropic's Mythos, and Microsoft's Perception, that the letter recommends the world buy in response.</P> IDC Link Tue, 01 Sep 2026 04:00:00 GMT Michelle Abraham, Grace Trinidad, Philip D.
