This study analyzes the usage preference and adoption behavior of enterprises across a range of industries. Some of the primary issues covered include current and future adoption behavior, technology, and service provider (SP) selection criteria. "Majority of enterprises are now more concerned with price. Our respondents cited cost as the key factor in selecting a telecommunications SP and the services that they subscribe to. This trend is the result of diminishing differentiation factor on connectivity services as most SPs provide similar services," says Kenneth Liew, senior market analyst, Communications Research, IDC Asia/'Pacific. </description><pubDate>Sun, 09 Nov 2008 00:00:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Latin America Semiannual Security Appliance Tracker 1H 2008</title><link>http://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?pid=23571113&amp;containerId=LA18016</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?pid=23571113&amp;containerId=LA18016</guid><description>Please note that standard and custom versions of IDC's Latin America regional trackers are not available in our search results.
