Abstract
This IDC study provides a detailed description of IDC' s U.S. vertical taxonomy.
It should be used as a companion piece for all U.S. vertical research as well
as to help vertically focused organizations define their vertical segments.
"IDC' s U.S. vertical taxonomy represents a collectively exhaustive and mutually
exclusive view of the U.S. vertical marketplace," said Eileen Smith, program
director, U.S. Verticals research. "It is a critical source for vendors to
define and segment U.S. vertical industries."
