Abstract
This IDC study presents a first look in 2008 at the collaborative applications
market over a 10-year period, with five-year forecasts (2008-2012) and
historical sizings (2003-2007) of the collaborative applications market in
terms of worldwide license and maintenance revenue (combined) by five
submarkets (integrated collaborative environments, messaging applications,
conferencing applications, team collaborative applications, and other
collaborative applications). This study does not contain all submarket
forecasts, geographic region segmentation, vendor-specific revenue or market
shares, which are to be published in separate studies during 2008.
"Improving collaboration remains a top priority for most organizations because
it is the key to achieving higher worker productivity and quality through
better communication about and coordination of content collaborative, projects
and teams. Collaborative applications provide the tools and the access to
information needed by workers to create and share information easily and
securely regardless of location, device, or time zone. Unified communications,
user-driven Web 2.0 workspaces, and software as a service delivery are taking
collaborative applications to the next level." - Mark Levitt, VP, Collaborative
Computing and the Enterprise Workplace, IDC
