It offers primary and secondary market analysis for the vendor and its products. "HP's dominance in the printer market translates to healthy used market demand for its printers, as customers rely on the strong brand and innovation of this vendor. For asset mangers that are evaluating an HP printer portfolio; the scope and depth of HP's resources in this arena provide solace that this vendor should weather the upcoming economic storm." — Susan G. Middleton, research director, TVS Wed, 29 Oct 2008 00:00:00 EDThttp://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?pid=23571113&containerId=214248http://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?pid=23571113&containerId=214248This IDC study examines the life cycle of Nortel's family of TDM- and IP-based PBX systems. This study provides an equipment overview, a review of secondary market trends, a future outlook, and essential guidance for those organizations involved in the purchase, sale, or investment of Nortel TDM and IP PBX systems. "Although this is a market in transition, it will continue to be a lucrative arena for financing companies that offer financing flexibility and innovative packaging to future telecommunications platforms." — Susan G. Middleton, research director, Technology Financing Strategies Thu, 25 Sep 2008 00:00:00 EDThttp://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?pid=23571113&containerId=214045http://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?pid=23571113&containerId=214045This IDC study provides residual value forecasts for EMC's enterprise Symmetrix storage products. The study explains the current market conditions that are affecting the value of used hardware on the secondary market and what future technological changes will further impact these values. This information helps those who invest in hardware assess their risk and provides guidance on the amount of residual value that is expected to be realized at the end of lease term. "EMC has posted strong earnings during 2Q08, demonstrating resilience in a lackluster economic environment. For EMC this translates into strong sales of its enterprise storage products and increased customer penetration. This success, however, does not translate to prices on the secondary market. Because of EMC's restrictive policies about warranty transfer and recertification, the secondary market for used EMC gear is extremely limited." — Susan G. Middleton, research director, Technology Financing Strategies Tue, 23 Sep 2008 00:00:00 EDThttp://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?pid=23571113&containerId=213830http://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?pid=23571113&containerId=213830This IDC study provides residual value forecasts and current fair market value data for portable personal computers from tier 1 vendors. The study explains the current market conditions that are affecting the value of used hardware on the secondary market and what future technological changes will further impact these values. We explore the factors impacting the portable market and the price/performance increases expected over the next several years. This information helps those who invest in hardware assess their risk and provides guidance on the amount of residual value that is expected to be realized at the end of lease term. "The lower price points and increased energy efficiency of new portable PC systems is making the value proposition of used systems less appealing. Although the life cycles of systems have extended in the past couple of years, the value of the hardware at the end of the lease will be lower than it was in the recent past." — Jennifer Koppy, research manager, IDC's Technology Valuation Strategies Thu, 21 Aug 2008 00:00:00 EDThttp://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?pid=23571113&containerId=213754http://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?pid=23571113&containerId=213754This IDC study provides residual value forecasts for Sun's high-end and midrange SPARC VI, SPARC VII, UltraSPARC, and UltraSPARC T2 servers. The study explains the current market conditions that are affecting the value of used hardware on the secondary market, and what future technological changes will further impact these values. We explore the factors impacting this portion of the server market and the technology changes expected over the next several years. This information helps those who invest in hardware assess their risk and provides guidance on the amount of residual value that is expected to be realized at the end of lease term. "Sun has announced new UltraSPARC T2 products and Enterprise server models this year with much fanfare; however, concerns about recent layoffs and changes in the schedule for Rock still linger. We will be monitoring any road map adjustments and their possible impact on market values." — Susan G. Middleton, research director, Technology Financing Strategies Thu, 21 Aug 2008 00:00:00 EDThttp://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?pid=23571113&containerId=213660http://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?pid=23571113&containerId=213660This IDC study provides residual value forecasts and current fair market value data for desktop personal computers from tier 1 vendors. The study explains the current market conditions that are affecting the value of used hardware on the secondary market and what future technological changes will further impact these values. We explore the factors impacting the desktop market and the price/performance increases expected over the next several years. This information helps those who invest in desktop hardware assess their risk and provides guidance on the amount of residual value that is expected to be realized at the end of lease term. "Current market forces, including weakened commercial spending and the preference for portable PC form factors, will drive down values of desktop PCs on the secondary market. We encourage a conservative approach to desktop leasing investments that takes into consideration IDC's forecast for a highest ASV decline, especially in 2009." — Jennifer Koppy, research manager, IDC's Technology Valuation Strategies Thu, 21 Aug 2008 00:00:00 EDThttp://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?pid=23571113&containerId=213841http://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?pid=23571113&containerId=213841This IDC Buyer Case Study describes how Eaton was able to manage its IT resources and budgets, leverage its buying power, and ultimately save $2.3 million, or about 12% of the related expense, by using Ecologic Leasing Services' LeaseAccelerator tool to make decisions on leasing and buying IT equipment, software, and services.

These services are limited to the deployment, support and decommissioning services that are captured as part of IDC's hardware deploy and support foundation market, and "standalone" decommissioning services. The overview does not consider project-based services (e.g., IT consulting and systems integration) or outsourcing services (e.g., IT outsourcing or application management). For a more comprehensive view of definitions of these markets, please see IDC's Worldwide Services Taxonomy, 2007 (IDC #205608, February 2007).

This information helps those who invest in hardware assess their risk and provides guidance on the amount of residual value that is expected to be realized at the end of lease term. "HP's continued investment in the Itanium platform and new innovative features has provided its installed base with a strengthened platform. Much of the industry is focused on the 2009 debut of its Tukwila and quad-core processing. This highly anticipated announcement will provide its customers with a strong performance boost as well as a high-speed interconnect." — Susan G.

"Customers' wants and needs and providers' principle business objectives are aligned. Customers want flexibility and choice in software and services financing. Providers want business growth. The missing ingredient? Innovation and investment in products that offer greater value to customers." — Jennifer Koppy, research manager, and Joseph Pucciarelli, research director, IDC's Technology Financing Strategies Service Wed, 23 Jul 2008 00:00:00 EDT
