This IDC study introduces IDC's new industry taxonomy, and it provides a detailed description of IDC's methodology and taxonomy for the segmentation of public cloud services by industry and company size, which is consistent across IDC's worldwide vertical research. It should be used as a companion piece for IDC's Worldwide Software and Public Cloud Services Spending Guide data deliverables. Technology suppliers may utilize this approach and structure as well to help them build an industry-focused organization."IDC's Worldwide Software and Public Cloud Services Spending Guide Taxonomy presents a comprehensive and standardized view of the software and public cloud services marketplace," said Serena Da Rold, director, IDC's Spending Guides. "When used in conjunction with IDC's spending guide forecasts, it helps vendors understand and navigate IDC's data effectively and define their target markets in terms of industry and company size segments."
