It does not cover point-of-sale printers or small-format printers featuring widths of less than eight inches. Neither does it cover wide-format (A0) products, sometimes known as plotters. The forecasts contain data for the Qatar peripherals market from 2010 through 2014. Unit shipment, value of shipment, and ASP information is presented. Data for 2008–2009 is actual, whereas data for 2010–2014 is projected."All vendors should continue to fight against the import of counterfeit consumables, as cartridges and toner sales represent a very important revenue stream. Investment in fighting the variables that hurt sales of original consumables is vital and should create its own return. Vendors should initiate awareness campaigns to help tackle this issue and provide discount offers and consumables replenishment contracts." – Research Manager Mohammed Al Noueiri, IDC Middle East, Africa, and Turkey.

The forecasts contain data for the Oman peripherals market from 2010 through 2014. Unit shipment, value of shipment, and ASP information is presented. Data for 2008–2009 is actual, whereas data for 2010–2014 is projected."The Omani HCP market remains heavily dependent on hardware sales, with minimal emphasis on printer services and solutions. As such, vendors need to give some attention to developing strategies for print services and solutions. Managed print services remain a relatively unfamiliar concept – one that most end users lack awareness of and most providers do not offer. Rigorous education on the concept and its benefits is required before end users will become more willing to adopt it." – Research Analyst Siamak Rahnama, IDC Middle East, Africa, and Turkey Tue, 22 Jun 2010 00:00:00 EDThttp://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?pid=23571113&containerId=EH14Shttp://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?pid=23571113&containerId=EH14SThis IDC study discusses the market for hardcopy peripherals – both single function and multifunction.

Data for 2008–2009 is actual, whereas data for 2010–2014 is projected."Year 2009 demonstrated that it is important to be ready for a variety of market conditions. The crisis created a significant postponement of demand, and it is vital that vendors and their partners be ready to meet demand when it arrives. Otherwise, competitors will grab their market shares." – Program Manager Alexei Gvozdenko, IDC Ukraine Fri, 18 Jun 2010 00:00:00 EDThttp://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?pid=23571113&containerId=EH02Shttp://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?pid=23571113&containerId=EH02SThis IDC study discusses the Bulgarian market for hardcopy peripherals – both single function and multifunction. It does not cover point-of-sale printers or small-format printers featuring widths of less than eight inches. Neither does it cover wide-format (A0) products, sometimes known as plotters. The forecasts contain data for the Bulgarian peripherals market from 2010 through 2014. Unit shipment, value of shipment, and ASP information is presented. Data for 2008–2009 is actual, whereas data for 2010–2014 is projected."IDC expects that the Bulgarian HCP market will experience very difficult 2010. However, we anticipate that the situation will improve in H2 2010. The Bulgarian HCP market remains unsaturated and, in conjunction with pent-up demand caused by the decline in 2009, this should result in a surge of HCP market growth in 2011. Moreover, the crisis may lead to certain qualitative developments such as the rise in popularity of pay-per-page and click-charge contracts, the improvement of distribution structures, and the streamlining of vendor operations in general." – Senior Analyst Evelin Stoev, IDC Bulgaria.

The forecasts contain data for the United Arab Emirates peripherals market from 2010 through 2014. Unit shipment, value of shipment, and ASP information is presented. Data for 2008–2009 is actual, whereas data for 2010–2014 is projected."Despite its negative impact on the HCP market, the financial crisis was a wakeup call for many. Vendors and their partners revisited their annual strategies to shift their focus from traditional box moving to offering more value-added services. Furthermore, end users started to pay more attention to printing costs and are now aware of the need for managed print services, document solutions, and related initiatives." – Research Manager Mohammed Al Noueiri, IDC Middle East, Africa, and Turkey Wed, 16 Jun 2010 00:00:00 EDThttp://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?pid=23571113&containerId=GI223737http://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?pid=23571113&containerId=GI223737This IDC Government Insights report looks at how the State of Missouri's Department of Conservation made significant changes to the way it manages its inventory of personal computers. The Missouri Department of Conservation found a creative way to trim PC life-cycle management costs and improve services to end users without taking too great of a risk to its overall business process. In the process, it outsourced several PC management tasks, including disk imaging, to the manufacturer of those PCs, eliminating nearly a full-staff position and also freeing up other staffers to focus on other computer management tasks."PC manufacturers are now finding creative ways to help with government PC management tasks, and the savings can be significant, with minimal risk," said Shawn P. McCarthy, research director for IDC Government Insights. "It's a surprising way of streamlining several PC management tasks. This report examines several aspects of this new approach and rates the things that work the best."

Data for 2008–2009 is actual, whereas data for 2010–2014 is projected. "Turkey's hardcopy peripherals market will return to growth in 2010, with the business and government sectors leading the way. Both business and consumer end users will become more demanding, focusing on total cost of ownership and the attributes of devices/supplies rather than on acquisition prices." – Research Analyst Zeynep Kilic, IDC Turkey Fri, 11 Jun 2010 00:00:00 EDThttp://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?pid=23571113&containerId=J10200103http://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?pid=23571113&containerId=J10200103The content of this document was written in Japanese 本調査レポートでは、2009年の国内クライアントPC市場販売チャネル動向について分析し、同市場が現在置かれている状況を明確にすると共に、ベンダーが今後とるべき手段を分析したものである。本調査レポートの市場対象範囲であるクライアントPCは、デスクトップおよびポータブルPCである。 IDC Japan PC、携帯端末＆クライアントソリューションのシニアマーケットアナリストである浅野 浩寿は、「国内企業ユーザーは、ランニングコストであるシステム保守料の高さに不満が高いことが分かった。PCベンダーはシステム保守料を画一的に設定するのではなく、サービス保守料金を細分化し、それを積み上げる方式に変更することが必要である」と述べている。 Tue, 08 Jun 2010 00:00:00 EDThttp://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?pid=23571113&containerId=ZH06Shttp://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?pid=23571113&containerId=ZH06SThis IDC study discusses the Saudi Arabian market for hardcopy peripherals – both single function and multifunction. It does not cover point-of-sale printers or small-format printers featuring widths of less than eight inches. Neither does it cover wide-format (A0) products, sometimes known as plotters. The forecasts contain data for the Saudi peripherals market from 2010 through 2014. Unit shipment, value of shipment, and ASP information is presented. Data for 2008–2009 is actual, whereas data for 2010–2014 is projected. "End users, now more than ever, are keen to cut costs and are starting to seek document and printing services, which should be a sign for vendors to start investing in this area. Saudi Arabia's oil and gas companies, among the biggest in the region, are ready to adopt such solutions. Initially, vendors must educate customers on the advantages of MPS via awareness campaigns and advertising. In the long run, they will reap the benefits, achieving multiple-client deployments." – Research Manager Mohammed Al Noueiri, IDC Middle East, Africa, and Turkey. Wed, 02 Jun 2010 00:00:00 EDT
