IDC's Software Taxonomy 2009 and Japan Software 2009-2013 Forecast

Abstract

This IDC study presents a detailed description of our software taxonomy. IDC' s software taxonomy is used in all IDC software reports. All reports of markets classified by functions and all competition analysis reports published by IDC are based on this taxonomy. Understanding of the overall structure of the software market and the way we organize our software market reports can be gained from this study. In addition, this study provides market sizing (estimates) for the 2008 Japan software market as well as market size forecasts for 2009 to 2013.

"In the rapidly changing Japan software market, the ability to quickly adapt to changes is in very high demand. The ability to match cutting edge architecture design and comprehensive support with prevailing demand will become a strong competence to other companies in these competitive times," analyzes IDC Japan software research manager Kazuhiko Inouye.
