This IDC study focuses on vertical markets' horizontal solutions investment plans in 2014, covering storage, ERP, CRM, document life-cycle, unified communications, and BI/analytics solutions. It draws on the results of the IDC European Vertical Market Survey, carried out between August and October 2013 in the top 5 Western European countries (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the U.K.) among 1,651 companies with more than 10 employees. Results are provided for total Western Europe for the following vertical markets: financial services, discrete manufacturing, process manufacturing, telecom/media, utilities/oil and gas, retail/wholesale, professional services/transport, healthcare, and government/education.

"As economic conditions improve, Western European companies are showing renewed interest in IT investment. IT solutions will continue to play a key role in the investment landscape as companies look at optimizing their solutions to address their business needs. However, demand will remain selective, and vendors wanting to capitalize on market opportunities need to understand what solutions end users are searching for, taking into account the vertical-specific business issues that are driving investment decisions," said Nina Bonagura, senior research analyst, IDC European Industry Solutions.
