This IDC study is aligned with the methodology used by IDC's Worldwide Semiannual Software Tracker. The forecast includes revenue generated by only the original software manufacturer or independent software vendor (ISV). The reseller's markup is excluded. (It is important to note that some of the printing equipment manufacturers also function as ISVs.)"Disruptions in office print due to the pandemic has produced necessities to better secure, measure, and manage the print infrastructure," says Anne Valaitis, research manager, IDC's Imaging, Printing, and Document Solutions group. "The market must pivot to digital service transformations and cloud platforms with secure processes, the future will be attached to these key areas."
