This IDC study presents an update to our first look in 2009 at the worldwide collaborative applications market over a 10-year period, with 5-year forecasts (2009-2013) and historical sizings (2003-2008) of the collaborative applications market in terms of worldwide license and maintenance revenue (combined) by five submarkets: integrated collaborative environments (ICEs), messaging applications, conferencing applications, team collaborative applications, and other collaborative applications.

"As a business process, collaboration is more critical than ever to help organizations endure the tough economic conditions that will be with us at least for the next 18-24 months," says Caroline Dangson, research analyst, Enterprise Collaboration and Social Solutions, IDC. "The collaboration products and services that will fare the best will be conferencing and team collaborative applications that can deliver short-term cost reductions, help information workers do more with less, and increase customer and prospect interactions."
