Description

This IDC study examines the extent of IP service adoption by small businesses across the Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan) or APEJ region. IDC surveyed enterprises in 11 Asia/Pacific countries across six vertical markets to assess their usage of and future need for IP technologies and services. For the purpose of this study, IDC identifies a small business as a company that has less than 100 employees.

"Small businesses around APEJ are using a wide variety of IP services and are looking to expand their use over the coming two years," says Tim Crowley, research manager, IP Services Research, IDC Asia/Pacific.
