Product Description:
This IDC study presents IDC's top 10 predictions for the applications markets in 2006. It presents the key trends that will affect application platforms, enterprise applications, product life-cycle management, human capital management, customer relationship management, collaboration, and enterprise workplace application vendors and their products in North America, Europe, Asia/Pacific, and worldwide in 2006.
'Although the applications markets will continue experiencing consolidation, the major trends will rotate more in the direction of platform and technology change, as well as intermarket tactical convergence,' reports Evan Quinn, group vice president of Applications research. 'IDC believes that market dynamics in applications during 2006 will continue to be highly active, if not quite as frenetic as 2005, because of the slowly but ever-improving ability of applications to help businesses, with technology innovation largely underlying the improvement.'
