Abstract
This IDC study provides a detailed description of IDC' s services market
taxonomy. For 2008, the taxonomy includes individual foundation markets grouped
within three macromarket segments: project based, outsourcing, and support and
training. At the worldwide level, spending is also segmented across three
geographic macroregions: Americas, EMEA, and Asia/Pacific. These macroregions
are further segmented at the regional and local levels.
IDC' s services market taxonomy is the basis for IDC services research studies,
trackers, and forecasters worldwide, as well as the relational multidimensional
schema of IDC' s Services Market Forecaster database that feeds worldwide and
regional vendor trackers.
"IDC' s services taxonomy presents a comprehensive and standardized view of the
worldwide services marketplace," said Gard Little, program manager, Global
Services Markets and Trends. "It continues to be the premier source for
defining and categorizing external IT and business services."
