Abstract
This IDC study (which is a translation of the Japanese
report IDC #J9350105) summarizes results of the qualitative and quantitative
analyses of the Japan software as a service (SaaS)/x as
a service (XaaS) market, performed in June 2009. In this
study, the SaaS market is divided into segments by application
type while the XaaS market is divided into platform as
a service (PaaS) and infrastructure as a service (IaaS). This
study also updates our forecast for the Japan SaaS/XaaS market
within the period 2009–2013, as compared with our previous study
(February 2009).
A rapidly increasing number of IT vendors place cloud
computing (services) including SaaS/XaaS at the pillar of their IT
services and IT businesses. While recognition of these services is
increasing among companies, their understanding of the advantages and values
of such services is still poor. "Vendors should promote sales/marketing
activities from the customers' viewpoint," analyzes Satoshi Matsumoto, research manager,
IT Services, IDC Japan.
