IDC MarketScape: Worldwide AI-Enabled Embedded Trade Financing Applications 2025–2026 Vendor Assessment

Jordan Steele, Kevin Permenter — Thu, 11 Dec 2025 05:00:00 GMT

This IDC study aims to provide guidance for organizations seeking to select the most effective trade finance software vendors in a rapidly evolving financial landscape. Buyers must navigate new demands for digitalization, operational efficiency, and compliance amid economic complexity and regulatory change. Modern solutions are expected to offer integrated risk management, ESG reporting, and real-time, automated processes, supporting secure, cross-border, and transparent trade. The criteria for vendor selection include regulatory agility, integration capability, configurability, and support for innovation and sustainability objectives. Focusing on these priorities helps organizations manage risks, keep pace with global standards, and ensure resilient, efficient trade finance operations.

"Trade finance is at a pivotal moment, with technology-driven innovation now essential for managing risk, ensuring compliance, and supporting resilient, sustainable global commerce in today's complex economic environment," says Jordan Steele, research manager, Worldwide Financial Applications Support at IDC. "With AI now handling the heavy lifting, like checking documents, spotting risks, and flagging compliance issues, trade finance operations can move faster, smarter, and with far less hassle for everyone involved."

IDC MarketScape: Worldwide AI-Enabled Enterprise Treasury and Risk Management Applications 2025–2026 Vendor Assessment

Kevin Permenter, Jordan Steele — Thu, 11 Dec 2025 05:00:00 GMT

This IDC study evaluates the worldwide AI-enabled enterprise treasury and risk management applications market. The treasury management software market is undergoing a fundamental transformation, owing to unprecedented financial volatility and the mandate for real-time strategic control. The spreadsheet era is officially over. Today, the TMS is no longer a back-office tool for reconciliation but the central digital command center for corporate liquidity and risk.

For enterprise buyers, the focus is shifting from simple efficiency to deploying autonomous AI agents that can delegate complex workflows, such as dynamic liquidity optimization and proactive fraud detection, across global footprints. For midmarket teams, the value lies in accessible, cloud-native platforms that use API connectivity and AI to grant a small team enterprise-level control and forecasting accuracy, finally enabling them to focus on strategy rather than administration. The key differentiator for all buyers is a platform's ability to move beyond data aggregation toward intelligent, self-correcting action at the speed of modern business. The time to invest in a future-proof, strategic TMS architecture is now.

"The true cost of outdated treasury software is no longer measured in staff hours lost but in millions forfeited to missed opportunities and unmanaged risk. The modern TMS isn't a tool; it's a strategic asset that transforms the treasurer from a financial historian into an autonomous, proactive driver of corporate value," Kevin Permenter, senior research director, financial applications at IDC.

The goal of modern TMS isn't to hire a bigger team; it's to delegate the daily grind to intelligent agents, shifting 80% of your focus from spreadsheet entry to strategic, growth-driving insight," said Kevin Permenter, senior research director, Financial Applications at IDC.

IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Client Endpoint Management Software for Windows Device Management 2025–2026 Vendor Assessment

Phil Hochmuth — Thu, 11 Dec 2025 05:00:00 GMT

This IDC study represents a vendor assessment of the client endpoint management software market for Windows endpoints through the IDC MarketScape model.

"A Windows device is still the primary computing endpoint for most workers," says Phil Hochmuth, research VP, Endpoint Management and Enterprise Mobility, at IDC. "The OS is modernizing in terms of manageability and security, and client endpoint management tools must adapt with new capabilities, such as AI-driven endpoint analytics and autonomous endpoint management frameworks, to keep pace with enterprise requirements and external/internal security threats."

IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Cloud-Native Core Banking Implementation Services 2025 Vendor Assessment

George Briford, Michael Sek Pheng Yeo, Jerry Silva — Thu, 11 Dec 2025 05:00:00 GMT

This IDC MarketScape provides an in-depth look at the system implementation partners driving cloud-native core banking solutions at a worldwide level. This research is the product of extensive quantitative and qualitative analysis of 14 major vendors involved in implementing cloud-native core banking solutions globally. These implementation services are critical to the success of a new core banking program for banks. The vendors featured in this report, aside from implementing, act as key partners throughout the transformation process, from head to tail, providing assistance and advice at all levels. The decision over which implementation partner to use is as important as the choice of the software vendor itself. This MarketScape research offers banks invaluable insights into the partners they should consider in conjunction with key technology partners to drive the best possible outcomes for their core banking modernization programs.

"From 2024's assessment on cloud-native core banking solution vendors, IDC this year has created an IDC MarketScape on the implementors and partners that bring these core banking solutions to the hands of the banks. Our research has highlighted the critical importance of system implementors in the overall cloud-native core banking transformation process. This IDC MarketScape aims to dissect the different offerings and relative strengths of the major players in the worldwide market. IDC notes that just like the actual core banking solution market, the system implementor market itself is highly diverse and has players specialized in differing client needs based on client profile, such as size, region, and maturity. The research also shows the deep role that implementors play in not just the hands-on implementation but also in the co-design and input they have with core banking vendors and how vendors have gone further to create unique products and services in conjunction with these partners to better service customer needs across different regions," says Michael Yeo, associate research director, IDC Financial Insights.

"As productivity, revenue, and other critical operations rely more on device availability and security, IT teams must keep pace with converged, AI-enhanced endpoint management software platforms."

IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Unified Endpoint Management Software for Apple Devices 2025–2026 Vendor Assessment

Phil Hochmuth — Thu, 11 Dec 2025 05:00:00 GMT

This IDC study represents a vendor assessment of the unified endpoint management software market, focused on the use case of Apple device management, through the IDC MarketScape model.

"Growing numbers of macOS devices, and the prevalence of iPhones, as well as other Apple endpoint devices in enterprise environments, can present security, management, and support challenges for some enterprise IT organizations," says Phil Hochmuth, research VP, Endpoint Device Management and Enterprise Mobility, at IDC. "IT operations teams must decide if dedicated management tools and processes are required for large enterprise Apple device management scenarios or if capabilities can be supported in existing UEM platforms."
