Dec-22 DOC # US49846922 Study
This IDC study provides the worldwide market shares for logistics and transportation management applications. This market grew nicely in 2021, paced by accelerating investment in public cloud deployments. Growth in the logistics and transportation management applications market continues to be driven by the historical need for omni-channel "buy anywhere, fulfill anywhere" processes, but it is also being driven by the need for digital competencies to allow the supply chain to pivot to new business models and seize on new opportunities.
"The importance of the supply chain in an inherently disruptive world is critical for businesses to meet their performance targets. Without the use of modern supply chain logistics tools, supply chains simply cannot compete at the levels necessary for competitive differentiation. Supply chain logistics investments are both a competitive necessity and key to driving a differentiating edge over peers," says Travis Eide, program director, Global Supply Chain Transportation and Logistics.

This IDC study discusses the forecast for the worldwide supply chain logistics and transportation management applications software market. Off a 2021 rebound, this market is expected to see good growth through 2026 as organizations look to better optimize their supply chain operations in the short term while ensuring they are resilient to market disruptions in the longer term. Clearly, the specter of recession hangs over these markets. As of now, IDC does not see signals to temper the forecast, but that may change as we move materially into 2023. Indeed, IDC surveys suggest that while supply chain executives are mindful of operational efficiency in the short term, they recognize the importance of the supply chain as an enabler of new business models. Growth in the supply chain planning applications market will be driven by both short-term focus and long-term focus.

IDC's Worldwide Digital Transformation Use Case Taxonomy, 2022: Asset-Oriented Value Chains in the Manufacturing Industry
Sep-22 DOC # US49323522 Study
This IDC study discusses how asset-oriented value chains (chemicals, metals, and pulp/paper) are on a mission to digitally transform to develop a model for collaborative innovation.
Reid Paquin, research director, IT Priorities and Strategies, IDC Manufacturing Insights, said, "Companies in AOVC value chains have to balance many initiatives in their digital journey. The first step every organization should take is to formulate a common definition of their mission, strategic priorities, and programs so that individual projects or use cases support overall objectives."

IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Supply Chain Demand Planning 2022 Vendor Assessment
Sep-22 DOC # US47619722 IDC DecisionScape
This IDC Manufacturing Insights study uses the IDC MarketScape model to provide an assessment of a number of providers participating in the worldwide supply chain demand planning market. The IDC MarketScape is an evaluation based on a comprehensive framework and a set of parameters that assesses providers relative to one another and to those factors expected to be most conducive to success in a given market during both the short term and the long term.
"Supply chain planning has become both central and critical to the success of a resilient supply chain, and demand planning specifically is a key component of supply chain planning overall. Growing complexity in the supply chain has made forecasting more difficult and forecast errors more prevalent, and the need for a competent demand planning system is central to the success of the broader supply chain," says Simon Ellis, program VP, IDC Manufacturing Insights and Worldwide Supply Chain Strategies.

State of the Market: Inflation Impact on IT Spending and the Cloud by Major Industry
Aug-22 DOC # US49593822 Presentation
This IDC Tech Buyer Presentation provides IDC Insights analysts' assessment of the impact of inflation on technology spending and adoption across 11 industries including education, energy, financial services, government, health and life sciences, hospitality, manufacturing, media and entertainment, retail, telecommunications, and transportation and logistics. Our analysis also offers IDC's outlook on IT spending and global economic sentiments gleaned from IDC's Future of Enterprise Resiliency and Spending (FERS) Survey. Future research from IDC Insights teams will delve deeper into the impact of inflation on their respective industries and subsectors.
"Across all industries, organizations are focusing their attention on navigating the storms of disruption brought about by inflationary pressures, supply chain constraints, labor and skills shortages, and geopolitical threats. Technology will play an important role to address these disruptions and blunt the impact of inflation faced by industries worldwide. Inflation is leading industries to prioritize investments in cloud, AI/ML, automation, and advanced data management and analytics." — Bob Parker, senior vice president and general manager, Industry Insights, Software, and Services at IDC

IDC MaturityScape Benchmark: Digital Supply Chain Resiliency in Asia/Pacific, 2022
Aug-22 DOC # US49525722 IDC DecisionScape
This IDC study presents the Asia/Pacific results of IDC's 2022 Digital Supply Chain Resiliency MaturityScape Benchmark Survey and should be viewed as a supplement to IDC MaturityScape: Digital Supply Chain Resiliency 1.0 (IDC #US48402418, December 2021). Together, they provide a comprehensive overview of IDC's Digital Supply Chain Resiliency maturity model.
"To be competitive in the Asia/Pacific region, companies must be agile in adapting to disruption and be willing to adopt new business models to seize opportunities and mitigate risk," says Stephanie Krishnan, associate vice president for IDC's Asia/Pacific Supply Chain program. "This requires a resilient supply chain that can monitor supply chain activities in real time, analyse scenarios, and then act on the resulting insights. Supply chain resiliency is no longer the domain of business contingency planning but, rather, a capability of companies and leadership teams that requires the cumulation of transformations internally and between business partners to mitigate risk and ensure consistent delivery against revenue and profit goals."

Blue Yonder ICON 2022: The Journey of the Berries
Aug-22 DOC # US49534022 Insight
This IDC Perspective provides IDC's review and analysis of Blue Yonder ICON and the outlook for the company.
The combination of unpredictable supply and demand coupled with accelerated complexity on all fronts served as the thematic underpinning for ICON, whose event title, "Experience the Edge," emphasized the need for harnessing data from the edge and using it effectively across the supply chain. ICON focused on the need for organizations to move from a planning model driven by historical information to one that is driven by real-time, cognitive, and interoperable data that lives across the supply chain and is not isolated by node, extending through execution and omni-channel operations. In this manner, all parts of the supply chain can work together as dynamically and optimally as possible to enable greater efficiency, better use of inventory, reductions of waste, increased customer satisfaction, and, ultimately, higher profits and a more sustainable enterprise. In short, ICON focused on the need for a resilient supply chain as a key to competitive advantage.
"Now is the time to turn disruption into opportunity by rethinking how to manage supply chain imbalances, by reimagining new ways of working that support resiliency, and by reinventing the supply chain to enable the capture and effective use of data at the edge," said Jordan K. Speer, research director of Product Sourcing, Fulfillment, and Sustainability. "Supply chains will have difficulty succeeding in this modern age without the flexibility, connectivity, and transparency that modern technology and platforms provide across planning, execution, and omni-channel."
