IDC Launches Techmatch To Help Businesses Select Software Vendors
CIO, Thursday, February 27th, 2025
The AI-enhanced tool provides self-service vendor evaluations backed by analyst input.
Analyst firm IDC today launched an online service that is designed to assist companies in selecting enterprise software that suits their needs.
IDC TechMatch is a self-service tool that currently picks up the software selection effort at the product shortlisting stage and proceeds to the generation of Requests for Proposal (RFPs), allowing users from multiple areas of the business to collaborate on software selection. Users need not be existing IDC subscribers.
Buying software is a time-consuming process that needs input from multiple areas of an organization, said Adam Harris, VP, digital product management at IDC's parent company, IDG. (CIO.com's publisher, Foundry, is also a subsidiary of IDG.)
