More Confusion Ahead</title><link>http://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?pid=23571113&amp;containerId=TB20081106</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?pid=23571113&amp;containerId=TB20081106</guid><description>Two years ago, IDC predicted a consolidation in the IT hardware asset disposition sector (ITAD). While a great deal of consolidation indeed occurred with a flurry of merger and acquisition deals and more venture capital money fueling the sector, new players have since emerged that could further confuse customers and may disrupt the current state of the industry. From the hardware manufacturers to contract manufacturers, and from IT hardware distributors to the recyclers, the newcomers could inject more money into the space but are likely to create more confusion and disruption. This telebriefing will be an update on the state of the ITAD sector today. It will look at the various scenarios that may emerge going forward and will address the challenges and opportunities that the ongoing economic turmoil could bring. </description><pubDate>Tue, 04 Nov 2008 00:00:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Sun Sees "A New Reality" in the Marketplace, Looks at New Strategies to Grow Customer Base</title><link>http://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?pid=23571113&amp;containerId=215059</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?pid=23571113&amp;containerId=215059</guid><description>This Event Flash focuses on Sun's announcement of its 3Q08 earnings (Sun's fiscal Q109) on Oct. 30 2008.
