IDC Market Glance: Commercial Revenue Orchestration and Protection Applications, 2Q26

Heather Hershey — Fri, 26 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC Market Glance is a taxonomy document intended to visually depict a concise current-state view of commercial revenue orchestration and protection applications, which help organizations acquire, convert, and retain customers while protecting revenue across digital and in-person commerce. These applications span the revenue life cycle from point-of-sale and payment platform enablement. As commerce architectures become more distributed, headless, and multiprovider by design, buyers are prioritizing interoperability and end-to-end observability across the revenue stack.

Use this information to understand the structure of the overall market or ecosystem; to assess market, business, and partnership opportunities; and to identify where their organization fits into the competitive landscape.

Karen D. Schwartz, Giulia Carosella, Mickey North Rizza, Neil Ward-Dutton — Fri, 26 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC PlanScape discusses process improvement.

“Twenty years ago, process rationalization and improvement were very labor-intensive, error-prone, lengthy processes, and as a result, people often ended up without making any real changes,” says Karen D. Schwartz, adjunct research analyst with IDC’s IT Executive Programs (IEP). “Today we have the knowledge and technology to understand what needs to be done and effect real, meaningful, lasting change.”

IDC TechScape: Worldwide Healthcare AI Control Plane and Orchestration Technologies, 2026

Mutaz Shegewi — Fri, 26 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC TechScape provides a structured framework for healthcare leaders to evaluate, select, and operationalize AI control plane and orchestration technologies. It analyzes transformational, incremental, and opportunistic solutions that enable scalable, governed, and workflow-integrated AI adoption across healthcare enterprises. The study highlights market trends, adoption maturity, risk profiles, and vendor landscapes, guiding organizations to balance innovation with governance, trust, and safety as they transition from isolated AI pilots to enterprise-scale AI deployment and operationalization.

“The future of healthcare AI will depend less on all things standalone and more on the ability to orchestrate, govern, and operationalize intelligent systems at enterprise scale,” says Mutaz Shegewi, senior research director, IDC Health Insights. “Healthcare AI is shifting from isolated to coordinated intelligence, where the real differentiator becomes the enterprise layer that integrates AI across clinical, operational, and administrative workflows.”

Market Share: Worldwide IT Automation and Configuration Management Software Shares, 2025 — the Year Buyers Started Buying the Chain, Not the Tools

Shannon Kalvar — Fri, 26 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC presentation examines the 2025 market shares of the leading vendors in the worldwide IT automation and configuration management (ITACM) software market, tracking who grew, who slowed, and why. The worldwide ITACM market grew 14.6% to $11.0 billion in 2025, but the growth was driven less by competitive shifts than by a wave of corporate consolidation that is structurally reorganizing the vendor landscape.

"2025 was the year buyers stopped buying tools and started buying the chain that connects them," said Shannon Kalvar, research director, Enterprise Systems Management, Enterprise Client Platforms, Observability, and AIOps, IDC. "The vendors winning this market are the ones that can govern provisioning, configuration, orchestration, and execution as a single life cycle."

Broadcom Mainframe AR Forum 2026: Agentic AI Comes to the Mainframe on the Platform's Own Terms

Jim Mercer — Thu, 25 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

At its 2026 Analyst Forum in Boston, Broadcom's Mainframe Software Division (MSD) laid out an agentic AI strategy anchored in the idea that AI capabilities belong within products customers already license, not in separate AI-branded SKUs that require new procurement cycles. The company unveiled an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server road map spanning its DevOps, Data Management, and AIOps value streams, with several tools already in beta under existing entitlements. Broadcom also reaffirmed Open Mainframe Project Zowe's role as the open source integration layer enabling both modern developer tooling and MCP-based AI connectivity.

EXL Investor and Analyst Day 2026: Data, Context, AI, and Trusted Execution as the Foundation for Sustained Business Outcomes

Jennifer Hamel, Sreenivas Duvvuri Venkata, Jennifer Eaton, Lars Goransson — Thu, 25 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC Market Note provides an overview of EXL’s 2026 Investor and Analyst Day, held in New York City on May 13, 2026. At the event, EXL detailed a strategic framework of data, context, AI, and trusted execution, operationalized through three proprietary agentic platforms — EXLdata.ai, EXLdecision.ai, and EXLerate.ai — and an increasingly outcome-based commercial model. IDC analysts assess how EXL’s positioning maps to broader market dynamics and where its differentiation will need to hold as competition intensifies.

IDC MarketScape: Worldwide AI-Enabled Customer Data Platforms for B2C Users 2026 Vendor Assessment

Tapan Patel — Thu, 25 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC study evaluates vendors of customer data platforms (CDPs) focused on B2C users and use cases. The CDP today sits at the center of how brands serve customers across marketing, advertising, commerce, and service, and increasingly across the AI agents acting on each side of the customer relationship. Customer expectations for personal, in-the-moment experiences keep rising; paid media costs keep climbing; and consent rules at the consumer scale keep tightening. AI is augmenting marketing from predictive campaigns toward semiautonomous decisioning, and personal AI agents are starting to research and compare and, in the future, will transact on consumers’ behalf. The result is a CDP decision that needs a longer horizon and a wider set of stakeholders. This study examines the buyer dynamics shaping the B2C CDP market, the forward-looking trends reshaping how CDPs are consumed by humans and AI agents alike, the use cases B2C organizations are building toward, and the buyer-side advice that determines whether the investment delivers.

“The next phase of B2C personalization will depend on whether the brand’s customer data and context are trustworthy enough for humans and AI agents to act on with the same confidence,” said Tapan Patel, research director, AI-Enabled Customer Data and Analytics, IDC. “The CDP is the layer that makes that possible, and the buying organization’s discipline around data readiness, operating model, and outcome measurement will also determine how much of that personalization the customer actually experiences and cares about.”

IDC Survey Spotlight: Are Partner Businesses Shifting from Resale to IP-Led?

Danielle Ibran — Thu, 25 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

As partner businesses shift from resale to value creation, regional dynamics determine both the pace and the path of change. This IDC Survey Spotlight pinpoints where partner-created IP and services are gaining share, where resale-led motions remain resilient, and how these patterns diverge by region.

For technology suppliers building channel programs for 2026 and beyond, the strategic implications for partner engagement, program benefits, and economics are sharper and more actionable than topline global metrics suggest.
