Description
This study examines the impact of Java Enterprise System (JES) and Java Desktop System (JDS) on Sun Canada and its partners. "These initiatives represent a major new thrust by Sun," says Steve Poelking, Director of Infrastructure and Applications Products and Services. "An integral component in the success of these initiatives will be partners and as a result Sun Canada will need to work closely with them and address their needs." IDC Canada believes there are three main factors that will dictate the degree to which Sun Canada gains traction with its partners: (1) The level of Sun ONE expertise by the partner; (2) Whether the partner is an exclusive Sun-focused partner, or whether there is a strong, committed Sun champion on-board that partner that can drive action; and, (3) The strength of the value proposition that Sun is making for JES and JDS. Overall, IDC Canada expects Sun to achieve some measure of success within its own customer-installed base for JES. For Sun Canada's partners, IDC believes 2004 will be a building year as they ramp up on training and as JES establishes a track record in the market.
