European IT Spending Forecast, 2022–2026: Key Digital Trends Across European Industries
Jan-23 DOC # EUR147862122 Study
This IDC Market Forecast analyzes European IT spending between 2021 and 2026 as well as provides a market size, forecast, and key trends supporting technology investments by industry. This forecast is segmented by IDC's 20 standard vertical markets: banking, insurance, securities and investment services, discrete manufacturing, process manufacturing, retail, wholesale, professional services, personal and consumer services, healthcare provider, transportation, telecommunications, media, utilities, construction, resource industries, federal/central government, state/local government, education, and consumer.
"In 2022, Europe had to adapt to new challenges and unexpected change that required a new level of resilience. Just as European companies were healing from damage from the COVID-19 pandemic, they were called to face the effects of the Russia-Ukraine War, which reverberated across the European market, impacting both enterprises and consumers. Energy, oil, and gas price increases, high inflation, staff shortages, lack of skills, supply chain disruptions, and logistics challenges ensued this year," said Andrea Minonne, research manager, Data and Analytics at IDC UK. "With the cost of products and services going up, customers will become more price sensitive and raise their customer experience (CX) expectations, and all industries will have to meet those expectations. On the other hand, the increase of fixed and variable costs such as rent and lease, bills, salaries, loan repayments, and raw material supply will put pressure on revenues and profits and European businesses will be more strategic in their investment choices. Lastly, with staff shortages affecting many industries, businesses are forced to adjust and automate their operations to guarantee processes and operations will stay healthy and guarantee business continuity."

The taxonomy follows a hierarchical structure that begins with the digital mission of that industry, the strategic priorities that support that mission, the programs that will be initiated to satisfy the priorities, and the funded projects, or use cases, that will be implemented under those programs. The taxonomy not only forms the basis for our market forecasts but also provides the framework for digital journey maps that will assist our clients in understanding the full scope of enterprise efforts." — Kevin Prouty, group vice president, IDC Energy Insights and IDC Manufacturing Insights

A Cross-Cutting View of European Verticals: Benchmarking IT, GDP, and Employment, 2020 and 2022 outlook
Jun-22 DOC # EUR149158522 Insight
This IDC Market Perspective analyzes vertical market indicators in Europe to understand the structure, size, and economic importance of industry sectors on the continent. The study focuses on the economic contribution of verticals to national and regional GDP and includes employment numbers by vertical. The study examines IT spending as a percentage of GDP as well as IT spending per employee to determine the level of IT sophistication of each vertical in 21 European countries. The vertical markets covered include discrete manufacturing, process manufacturing, retail and wholesale, resource industries and construction, utilities, telecommunications, media, transportation, personal and professional services, financial services, and the public sector. The study also provides an outlook to the most influential macro-factors impacting the ICT market in 2022 such as the Russia-Ukraine War, inflation, and the role of the NextGenerationEU and the national recovery plans. It also reviews trends impacting IT investments by industry.
"For years, IT intensity (IT/GDP) and productivity (GDP per employee) indicators have been growing steadily for all industries and countries in Europe, but the disruptions caused by COVID-19 to European industries draw a heterogeneous picture in 2020. Considering the headwinds currently shaping the economy landscape in 2022, vendors must build vertical strategies to help organizations improve their resiliency and seize opportunities arising from digital-first strategies," said Neli Vacheva, research manager, IDC Customer Insights and Analysis.
"Among the main concerns for 2022 is the Russia-Ukraine War, which brought additional inflationary pressure on markets. Despite IT spending seeming to be resilient, many economic indicators will be affected by increasing prices, as will companies' technology investment priorities," said Carla La Croce, senior research analyst, IDC Customer Insights and Analysis. "The economic outlook will be monitored by IDC very closely, with constant updates."

The CIO's Guide to Enterprise Agility in the Post-Pandemic Era
The CIO's Guide to Enterprise Agility in the Post-Pandemic Era
May-22 DOC # US49125122 Insight
This IDC Perspective identifies the factors that are critical to aligning stakeholders around the concept of agility, with key, actionable takeaways for CIOs in an enterprise agility leadership role.
The post-pandemic era has been a period of rapidly shifting consumer sentiment, business requirements, and geopolitical uncertainty that requires organizations to react quickly, pivot on a dime, and operate seamlessly as a close team. We have entered a digital-first economy.
We often speak of the need to enhance resilience to cope with our new reality, but that is truly the baseline needed to sustain our organizations. What is also needed is an IT organization that helps the enterprise anticipate and make the most of the rapidly changing environment. What is required is agility at an enterprise level.
Like agility in software development, agility at the enterprise level stands to deliver great benefits. And both software development agility and enterprise agility face challenges with successful adoption.
CIOs must navigate this changing environment, supporting and driving improvement in the departmental use of Agile development and helping guide the business toward enterprise agility, leveraging lessons learned from development teams.
The path to this more holistic embrace of agility involves a reconceptualization of IT leadership and the IT organization. This document lays out key questions to ask along the journey to enterprise agility, such as:
"Today is the time to come together as an Agile global team. We need to be inspired by the best practices inherited from each corner of the organization and generate an Agile way at the enterprise level. CIOs must lead," says Serge Findling, vice president of research for IDC's IT Executive Programs (IEP).
