"The development of a new industry taxonomy was not taken lightly or completed in isolation," said Serena Da Rold, associate research director, IDC's Data and Analytics. "IDC spent a year researching existing industry taxonomies. In this time, we conducted a study of economic standards, client inquiries, tech vendor industry taxonomies, and competitive taxonomies."
