IDC Adds AI-based Tech Decision Platform

IDC Research has rolled out “IDC Quanta for Tech Leaders,” a new AI-powered technology intelligence platform designed to deliver fact-based, outcome-driven answers to the questions most commonly posed by technology leaders.

Built specifically for CIOs, Heads of AI, CTOs, CISOs, and enterprise decision-makers, the platform is designed to provide decision-grade answers sourced and cited from thousands of technology leader research documents, 15B+ proprietary data points tracked annually, vendor selection capabilities, and price benchmarks.

IDC research shows that 67% of enterprise AI agent budgets were overspent by more than 10% in the last 12 months, and 57% of CIOs don’t have a consistent, enterprise-wide vendor benchmark, leaving the majority exposed to unvalidated tech bets and compressed negotiation timelines.

“As AI transforms every corner of the enterprise, moving fast without validated proof creates an unacceptable level of risk,” said Lorenzo Larini, Chief Executive Officer of IDC. “IDC Quanta for Tech Leaders puts actionable intelligence directly in the hands of technology leaders who in the past struggled with access that slowed down decision-making.”

Sitting between the AI tools leaders already use—like email, Claude, and their enterprise AI tools—the platform helps leaders to align technology roadmaps, vendor evaluations, and architecture decisions with independently verified market intelligence; select the right technology at the best price; and build a more effective case for IT expenditures.

The offering is available in seven packages at different price points and capabilities. One package provides full access to IDC’s research and data. Another adds entry-level deal reviews, analyst inquiries, and price benchmarking. A third is built for vendor selection and deal pricing reviews, including direct interactions with domain, specialized tech vendor, and market experts. Premium packages add seats, additional analyst access, and tech leader event passes.

IDC Quanta for Tech Leaders is also now available on AWS Marketplace.
