This IDC study provides an analysis of the desktop management market and forecast outlook for the market. Key areas included in this study are desktop management market trends from both vendor and user perspectives, and desktop management forecast and definitions for 2005?2009 with Asia/Pacific geographic breakouts.

Eugene Wee, senior analyst, IT Services Research, IDC Asia/Pacific, says, "IDC sees the desktop management market in the Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan) region, or APEJ, as incredibly fragmented, with diverse demands and different needs. Further, the market's competitive landscape is populated by many players, each of whom have unique value propositions. With the desktop management market exhibiting compound annual growth rates (CAGRs) ranging from 3% in Taiwan to 36% in PRC, it is a challenge to look at the market from just a regional point of view."
