MARKET ANALYSIS Worldwide Software 2008Œ2012 Forecast MARKET ANALYSIS Worldwide Software 2008–2012 Forecast Summary Richard V. Heiman IDC OPINION The worldwide software market underwent very strong revenue growth from $231.1 billion in 2006 to $262.7 billion in 2007, an annual increase of 13.7%. However, from 2007 to 2012, the projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is a more modest 7.7%. IDC believes that: The 2007 growth was in part due to the weakness of the U.S. dollar against other major currencies. The software industry is maturing and consolidating. This phenomenon continued in 2007 and will do so in the future. Emerging market drivers such as Eureka 2.0, software appliances, service- oriented architecture (SOA), and virtualization will provide growth opportunities even in the face of macroeconomic uncertainties and volatility. Successful software vendors will be those that can best adapt their technologies and business models to the continually changing dynamics of the marketplace.

summary of the worldwide packaged software market for 2007 and a five-year revenue forecast by geographic region and operating environment through 2012. Vendor revenue and market share for nearly 1,000 vendors are provided for 2007. Methodology This study, published annually, encompasses the entire packaged software market, with the applicable market segment elements outlined below. Appendix A describes the methodology used for the development of content, and Appendix B provides a glossary that offers detailed market definitions and explains how IDC defines packaged software revenue. Appendix C describes the Competitive Market Map (CMM) methodology. In addition, please note the following: The information contained in this study was derived from the IDC Software Market Forecaster database as of June 23, 2008. All numbers in this document may not be exact due to rounding. For more information on IDC's software definitions and methodology, see IDC's Software Taxonomy, 2008 (IDC #210828, February 2008). Primary Markets Covered The study presents revenue and shares for the following primary markets as well as worldwide totals: Application development and deployment (AD&D) Applications System infrastructure software (SIS) Vendor and Market Segmentation Geographic Regions With regard to software product demand, three distinct geographical regions are considered in each vendor's revenue: Americas Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) Asia/Pacific Each segment is defined in the software market glossary in Appendix B. ©2008 IDC #213259 1 Operating Environments Market revenue and forecasts are also segmented by operating environment. Operating environments are defined collections of discrete hardware platforms and/or operating systems. The operating environments for this study are as follows: Mainframe Unix Linux and other open source Windows 32 and 64 Other (includes i5 and OS/400, other host/server, embedded, other single user, and hardware appliances) Each operating environment is defined in Appendix B. Software Market Taxonomy This study's software market glossary (see Appendix B), which is extracted from IDC's Software Taxonomy, 2008 (IDC #210828, February 2008), presents a functional view of the worldwide software market. IDC defines functional markets in terms of the features, functions, and attributes of the software package, not the problem being solved or the industry into which the software is deployed. In IDC's software market taxonomy, the worldwide software market is divided into 81 functional markets. The market information contained in this study is part of IDC's global software market coverage. The Related Research section of this study references companion IDC studies that go into greater detail and depth in analyzing individual software markets. Executive Summary The Packaged Software Market in 2007 Worldwide revenue increased from $231.1 billion in 2006 to $262.7 billion in 2007, an annual increase of 13.7%. Figure

While current technologies used within Microsoft products is of- ten included, the real purpose of this series is to give the reader an idea of where major technologies are going, how Microsoft is leveraging off of those technologies in ways that are complemen- tary and what this means to information technology planners do- ing real world IT implementations.

For this purpose, it is neces- sary to increase application usability and reuse, enable easy access to data from different sources, and reduce development time. UNIX systems are already present in the enterprise in significant numbers while advances in information technology are occurring on inexpen- sive PCs. MIS organizations must move forward, but also leverage their investments in UNIX systems, so many must integrate existing UNIX systems with the Microsoft® Windows® family of operating sys- tems.

Leila Svantro Teknisk- naturvetenskaplig fakultet UTH-enheten The smartphone operating system iOS is the second highest ranked after Android. The apps in App Store and Google Play combined consist of 70-80 % games, which Besöksadress: are the primary entertainment applications. Many developers are learning game Ångströmlaboratoriet Lägerhyddsvägen 1 development or refreshing their skills to profit on this trend. The problem statements Hus 4, Plan 0 are: is it viable and feasible to use Adobe Flash Professional (AFP) for the iOS game development compared to Xcode and could AFP be used exclusively for iOS game Postadress: development? Information on both IDEs has been analyzed. Furthermore, Box 536 751 21 Uppsala implementations and code comparisons have been made. The results and analysis shows differences regarding expenses while possibilities for developing the same kind Telefon: of games essentially are equivalent. The conclusions are that AFP is a viable IDE for 018 – 471 30 03 iOS game development in the aspect of possibilities. It is not feasible on a long-term Telefax: basis when considering the expenses however it could be feasible on a short-term 018 – 471 30 00 basis depending on the developer’s requirements of extension and Mac OS for App Store publishing.
