Research Director
Presenting at Directions. It’s a lot more than just going up on stage and talking through 15 – 20 slides in 35 minutes. The preparation, rehearsal, and delivery all take on a life of their own the closer we get to Directions, and everything gets magnified 100x when you’re on the main stage. I’ll say this much though: it’s also one of the most thrilling experiences I’ve had.
I’m going to go with three phrases: Forward-thinking, Sound expertise, Insightful analysis.
Research Manager
A great set of colleagues with varied backgrounds, each being highly supportive and inspiring.
The perfect mix of autonomy and teamwork. It’s rare to have such an opportunity at any other job.

VP, WW Enterprise Computing Trackers and Americas Data & Analytics
The people!! It is amazing to be able to work with so many talented analysts and learn from them, as well as the opportunity to work with the companies that are shaping the IT world.
Willingness to learn, organization, respect to others, and team work are key to be successful at IDC.
Sales Operations Manager
Entrepreneurial, Imaginative, Stimulating
IDC offers many opportunities for career development. I was lucky enough to be selected for the Mentor Program during my first year of employment. IDC matches you up with someone in a different department, which is a great way to learn about other aspects of the IDC business that you may not be aware of.

Naše stránky pomáhají budovat povědomí o IDC, a získávat tak nové zákazníky z celého světa. Druhou důležitou úlohou našich stránek je doručování výsledků našeho rozsáhlého researche zákazníkům. Klienti si u nás mohou přečíst, nebo stáhnout výsledky studií IDC. Na projektu pracují společně designéři a vývojáři. Návštěvnost našich stránek je pro nás důležitá, a proto je celkový dojem, který zanechají na uživateli, podstatný.

Vyvíjíme celému IDC interní systémy na míru. Ať už jednotlivým zemím nebo celým kontinentům, jdeme vstříc místním požadavkům a staráme se, aby do sebe vše hezky zapadlo. Abychom to dokázali, spolupracujeme s ostatními IT teamy, designéry, webovými vývojáři a hlavně lidmi z různých koutů světa. Často se u nás setkáte se slovem integrace – intergujeme interní IDC systémy a mnoho aplikací třetích stran. Tvoříme tímto způsobem regionální webové stránky, platformu pro organizování konferencí, HR systém a další tooly pro různá oddělení firmy.

Ve Webscraping týmu věříme, že dokážeme pomoci svým klientům a kolegům sbírat data jinak a přejít z jednotlivých datapointů k obřím datasetům. Jsme tým na pomezí IT a businessu, který díky automatizaci a robotizaci sbírá data ze statisíců stránek každý měsíc. Odběrateli výsledků naší práce jsou jak IDC analytici v různých zemích, tak samotní zákazníci IDC, kteří potřebují aktuální informace pro svá rozhodnutí. V našem týmu budete v pravidelném kontaktu s celý světem, abyste vykomunikovali potřeby odběratelů a potom bude i na vás, najít to správné řešení pro daný zdroj dat a jeho transformaci do finálního produktu.
