IDC and Amazon are teaming up to make high-quality business insights faster, easier, and more accessible. IDC announced a new strategic partnership that brings its proprietary technology intelligence directly into Amazon Quick Research, an AI-powered research agent inside Amazon Quick Suite.
Trusted intelligence now built into AWS workflows
Amazon designed Quick Research to help business professionals generate, synthesize, and analyze complex information across multiple data sources. By integrating IDC’s premium research and more than 11.5 billion data points, the tool now delivers a new level of depth, accuracy, and credibility, all within the user’s existing AWS environment.
For many organizations, this solves a growing challenge: business users are overwhelmed by fragmented data sources and a surge of unverified AI-generated content. Embedding IDC’s validated intelligence directly into an AI-driven agent helps close that trust gap at a moment when clarity and speed are more critical than ever.
Through the integration, customers will gain:
- Faster, more precise insights that blend next-generation AI with IDC-validated research
- Seamless access to IDC content inside daily AWS workflows
- Higher productivity and confidence in AI-generated recommendations and analyses
A milestone in IDC’s AI-fueled ecosystem strategy
The partnership also marks a milestone in IDC’s plans to deliver trusted intelligence directly into the tools and environments customers use every day. This integration is also part of IDC’s broader shift toward an AI-fueled, human-driven model for delivering trusted technology intelligence. IDC recently shared its vision for evolving from static research delivery into a connected intelligence ecosystem powered by APIs, partnerships, and agentic AI. The collaboration with Amazon Quick Research is one of the first visible steps in bringing that strategy to life, meeting customers where they work and embedding IDC insights into the flow of everyday decision-making.
By pairing IDC’s analyst-validated intelligence with Amazon Quick Research, we’re accelerating our AI-fueled, human-driven approach and giving customers faster, more precise insights to support confident decision-making,” said Meredith Whalen, chief product, research and delivery officer at IDC
And this is only the beginning. IDC will continue expanding its intelligence ecosystem in 2026 with additional integrations, enhanced APIs, and new ways for customers to tap into analyst-validated insights across the platforms where they already work.
Access to IDC insights is available to Amazon Quick Research users with select IDC subscriptions.
