Abstract
This IDC study makes 10 predictions for the information access and analysis
software markets, which include business intelligence, data warehousing,
search, and text analytics software. Today' s confused market landscape shows
both consolidation and fragmentation. As enterprises move from
transaction-based to information-based platforms, the need to unify access to
multiple information silos, enabling sharing and analysis across formats and
repositories, has become critical. IDC expects that new hardware and software
technologies as well as a resurgence of ecommerce will drive adoption of these
applications.
"As information access and analysis markets continue to consolidate, IDC
believes that these hot areas for software development will continue to buck
the trend toward slowing market growth," says Sue Feldman, IDC' s VP for Search
and Digital Marketplace Technologies.
