AskIDC Inquiry Desk for Canada

Standard Inquiry Guidelines

• The question/inquiry must fall within the scope of the research services to which your company subscribes. If not, a fee may apply.
• The analyst must be able to answer the question in 2 hours or less - including time to prepare and deliver the response. Work effort beyond this may require the involvement of the IDC Custom Solutions team and may involve additional fees.
• If your inquiry includes non-Canadian elements, then a custom inquiry fee may apply.
• There must be sufficient inquiry hours available as part of your organization's subscription to answer your request.
