A revenue forecast is provided for the 20010–2014 period, with a five-year compound annual growth rate as well as year-over-year growth rates. IDC believes that the managed network services market will continue to grow as enterprises look to achieve greater operational efficiencies and reduce costs. "In the current economic climate, the managed services delivery model becomes an attractive alternative to deploying and managing networking technology with increasingly costly internal resources," says Curtis Price, program vice president, Managed Network Services.

From 2010 onward, IDC divides the Japan UC market into the UC platform, UC application, UC application services market (new), and UC professional services. By solution type, IDC classifies the market into the IP telephony (IPT), enterprise VoIP services, unified messaging (UM)/presence management, IP conferencing systems/telepresence, and IP contact center (IPCC) systems for analysis and forecasting. The Japan UC market contracted in 2009 due to the slump in the IPT and UM/presence management systems markets that were affected by the Japan economy. "To maintain the continued growth of the Japan UC market, sales channels and equipment vendors should develop new sales strategies that adapt to the "new-normal" in IT spending and enhance preparations for cloud UC services, by stimulating user enterprises to leverage UC simplifying the utilization methods for communication platforms," says Takashi Manabe, research manager, Communications, IDC Japan.

The IDC MarketScape is an evaluation based on a comprehensive framework and a set of parameters that assess vendors relative to one another and to those factors expected to be most conducive to success in a given market during the short and the long term. "While the hosted UC space is still evolving, the solutions on the market today are strong indicators of just how powerful the hosted UC space will be going forward," says Carrie MacGillivray, program manager in IDC's Mobility and IP Communications program. "What goes on in this corner of communications is going to change how we do business from here on out. As an industry, we need to pay close attention to ensure the roads being paved today will lead us to a better tomorrow."
