Abstract
This IDC study presents a first look in 2008 at the collaborative applications market over a 10-year period, with five-year forecasts (2008-2012) and historical sizings (2003-2007) of the collaborative applications market in terms of worldwide license and maintenance revenue (combined) by five submarkets (integrated collaborative environments, messaging applications, conferencing applications, team collaborative applications, and other collaborative applications). This study does not contain all submarket forecasts, geographic region segmentation, vendor-specific revenue or market shares, which are to be published in separate studies during 2008.
"Improving collaboration remains a top priority for most organizations because it is the key to achieving higher worker productivity and quality through better communication about and coordination of content collaborative, projects and teams. Collaborative applications provide the tools and the access to information needed by workers to create and share information easily and securely regardless of location, device, or time zone. Unified communications, user-driven Web 2.0 workspaces, and software as a service delivery are taking collaborative applications to the next level." - Mark Levitt, VP, Collaborative Computing and the Enterprise Workplace, IDC
