Abstract

This IDC study provides a detailed description of IDC's worldwide vertical industry and company size methodology and taxonomy. It should be used as a companion piece for IDC's Worldwide ICT Spending Guide by Industry and Company Size and all of IDC's worldwide vertical research. Technology suppliers may utilize this approach and structure to help them build an industry-focused organization.

"IDC's worldwide industry and company size taxonomy is an essential companion to IDC's industry and company size spending guide forecasts," said Serena Da Rold, program manager, IDC's Customer Insights and Analysis group. "It presents a comprehensive and standardized view of the technology marketplace, helping vendors understand and navigate IDC's data effectively, and define their target markets in terms of industry and company size segments."
