This presentation includes worldwide revenue, growth rates, and detailed revenue and market share breakdowns for leading vendors. The worldwide cloud application deployment platforms software market reached $23.7 billion in 2025, representing 25.7% year-over-year growth. As organizations scale AI workloads, application platform vendors are extending capabilities beyond traditional deployment tooling by combining compute access, deployment abstraction, AI inference, and developer-facing interfaces and, in some cases, AI hardware. Platform providers are also taking on greater responsibility for compliantly democratizing AI. By managing integrations between foundation models and organizations’ existing data and tools, these platforms are operationalizing AI investments at the enterprise level. Vendors that address infrastructure abstraction, enterprise integration, and secure data access for AI tools are well positioned to capture continued growth in this market.</P><P>“The demand for AI applications and agents is forcing humans, organizations, and tools to change. With heightened requirements for data, privacy, security, and abstraction, application platforms are well positioned to play a central role in helping organizations scale the development, deployment, and management of AI applications and agents.” — Matthew Flug, research manager, Intelligent Application Modernization and Deployment Platforms at IDC</P> Market Presentation Wed, 08 Jul 2026 04:00:00 GMT Matthew Flug The Agentic Enterprise Is Here: A Retail Lens on SAP Sapphire 2026 https://my.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=US54658426&utm_medium=rss_feed&utm_source=alert&utm_campaign=rss_syndication <P>This IDC Perspective discusses SAP Sapphire 2026 in Orlando (May 11–13), where SAP repositioned itself from an ERP vendor to a business AI company, recasting the application layer itself as an agentic stack. The day 2 keynote — led by CEO Christian Klein, with Member of the Executive Board Muhammad Alam, CTO Philipp Herzig, and COO Sebastian Steinhaeuser — rested on a blunt thesis: 80% accuracy may suit a consumer chatbot but fails in finance, supply chain, and HR. SAP’s answer was the SAP Business AI Platform. Governance runs through the SAP AI Agent Hub; trust is anchored by Anthropic’s Claude and NVIDIA’s secure runtime; and industry depth spans 26 industries, including retail’s Autonomous Unified Commerce, backed by a new RISE with SAP migration accelerator. Customer proof gives the vision weight. The recurring theme is that the rapid advancement of agentic AI is overtaking market forces, and a framework and an accompanying infrastructure will be necessary to leverage the modern business.</P><P>“Enterprise AI agents have advanced faster than almost anyone predicted. Agents can now reason, decide, and act across multistep workflows that were manual a year ago. But advancement isn’t the same as readiness. The accuracy tolerable for a consumer chatbot is nowhere near what finance, supply chain, customer experience, or HR demand, where ‘almost right’ carries real costs. The next phase belongs to organizations that pair agent autonomy with the data quality, grounding, and governance to make decisions trustworthy at scale,” says Ananda “Andy” Chakravarty, VP research at IDC Retail Insights.</P> IDC Perspective Wed, 08 Jul 2026 04:00:00 GMT Ananda Chakravarty Unified AI Platforms — Platformized or Compositional Architectures: Understanding the Differences https://my.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=US54662326&utm_medium=rss_feed&utm_source=alert&utm_campaign=rss_syndication <P>This IDC Perspective discusses how enterprise AI complexity is outpacing most organizations’ ability to manage it. As AI systems grow more autonomous, the architecture of the platform that governs them matters. This document examines two distinct architectural strategies in the unified AI platforms market: platformized architectures, where the platform owns and enforces the AI life cycle natively, and compositional architectures, where organizations assemble this life cycle themselves from APIs, SDKs, and external tooling. Neither is inherently superior, but they differ materially in who bears operational responsibility and how governance is enforced. Organizations that understand this distinction before evaluating vendors will be better positioned to choose an architecture that fits their engineering capacity, risk tolerance, and production-scale ambitions.</P><P>“Enterprises evaluating unified AI platforms are making a consequential architectural choice,” says Kathy Lange, research director, AI, Data, and Automation Software at IDC. “The line between platformized and compositional offerings is not always visible in vendor marketing, but it determines who owns the complexity of governing and operating AI at scale.”</P> IDC Perspective Wed, 08 Jul 2026 04:00:00 GMT Kathy Lange IDC Survey: AI Market Developments in Türkiye: GenAI Momentum, Agentic AI Intent, and Deployment Readiness — Part 2 https://my.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=META54604326&utm_medium=rss_feed&utm_source=alert&utm_campaign=rss_syndication <P>This IDC Survey examines how organizations in Türkiye are moving from generative AI (GenAI) adoption toward agentic AI planning, funding, and execution. GenAI is already active in the market, but the next phase will be more demanding. Organizations now need to move from exploration and planned investment into governed deployments supported by clearer use cases, stronger onboarding, AI-ready data, and measurable business value.</P><P>The study highlights that Türkiye’s AI value story is no longer limited to basic automation. Organizations are applying GenAI and agentic AI where enterprise context, workflow fit, and domain knowledge can improve how work gets done across software development, IT operations, research, customer engagement, and decision support. When GenAI initiatives fall short, the response is also telling organizations are more likely to reassess the use case and strengthen internal data access than replace the technology.</P><P>The survey also evaluates agentic AI intent, budget commitment, deployment models, priority business areas, risk concerns, provider preferences, model strategy, solution-selection criteria, vendor support, and agent-sprawl controls. While interest in agentic AI is clear, scale will depend on whether organizations can strengthen data foundations, compute capacity, integration depth, governance, skills, cost control, and operational support. The findings suggest that Türkiye’s next AI phase will be defined by the ability to turn GenAI momentum and agentic AI ambition into controlled, measurable execution. </P> IDC Survey Tue, 07 Jul 2026 04:00:00 GMT Melih Murat IDC Survey: Enterprise Buyer Behavior and Data Management Consolidation Trends https://my.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=US54555726&utm_medium=rss_feed&utm_source=alert&utm_campaign=rss_syndication <P>This IDC Survey Presentation summarizes key findings from the IDC’s <I>Worldwide Syndicated Survey 2026: Data Management</I>, conducted in April 2026 across 715 organizations in 14 global markets.

As traditional AI and generative AI have become widely adopted, enterprises are shifting attention toward the infrastructure, governance, platform capabilities, and operational discipline required to support increasingly complex AI environments and agentic AI.</P><P>The growing pressure created by agentic AI, which is moving rapidly toward production, introduces new challenges around oversight, accountability, life-cycle management, and deployment control. While adoption is accelerating, many organizations are still working to establish the operating models and governance needed to support autonomous systems, creating a widening gap between deployment speed and enterprise readiness.</P><P>Unified AI platforms are emerging as enterprise control layers that bring together governance, security, observability, automation, and life-cycle operations. However, infrastructure limitations, fragmented environments, and governance gaps continue to constrain scale, with many organizations still focused on visibility rather than enforcement and measurable outcomes. As AI expands, the ability to consistently automate, govern, and operate AI systems will become a key differentiator.</P> IDC Survey Tue, 07 Jul 2026 04:00:00 GMT Kathy Lange Market Forecast: Worldwide IT Operations Management Software Forecast, 2026–2030 https://my.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=US54266726&utm_medium=rss_feed&utm_source=alert&utm_campaign=rss_syndication <P>This IDC presentation projects that the worldwide IT operations management software market will grow from $26.0 billion in 2025 to $51.6 billion in 2030, with a five-year CAGR of 14.7%.
