    How is IDC data different from other data sources?

    Sales strategy planning traditionally involves a certain amount of subjective opinion, historical internal CRM data and independent data gathered to inform and support. The result is inconsistency. IDC Velocity uses the same data that IDC analysts use to understand market trends – data that is vetted to be consistent and fresh. The result is consistency and reliability.

    Does this platform provide recommendations?

    IDC Velocity provides users proprietary recommendations on ICP, TAM/SAM projections, level of competition in specific markets, as well as relevance scores for target accounts. Each recommendation is backed with an explanation, so you can trust and verify the method in which the information was constructed.

    What options do I have to assess my market targets and how granular is the data?

    Each market assessment starts with your inputs on the geography, technology market(s) and industries you’re targeting. When building your assessments, you can choose from 48 geographic regions, 115 technologies and 16 vertical industries. This level of granularity is particularly important when you’re assessing the viability of your ICP – as well as previously uncovered opportunities in adjacent markets.
