Abstract
Once again, it' s time for IDC' s annual predictions for the IT industry. Our
goal for the past 20 years has been to offer a serious look by IDC' s more than
800 analysts at a selective group of "the things that matter most" for the
coming year in the IT industry. We focus on the structural changes that are
taking the industry' s leading players out of their comfort zones and driving
them toward strategic, difficult choices.
This document is the broadest of our Top 10 Predictions documents, looking
across a very wide range of industry segments. In the coming 60 days, IDC will
deliver several dozen other Top 10 Predictions documents, each offering a
deeper dive into one part of the industry. Please look for them on idc.com.
"Given all the market shifts, disruptions, and bold vendor moves we expect to
see in this year of ' hyperdisruption,' there' s one clear conclusion: It will be
a bad year for vendors that are not ready to step out of their comfort zones
and realign their strategies, offerings, and business models around the new
market structure." - Frank Gens, IDC senior vice president, research
