Synopsis

Abstract

This IDC study examines the use of technology in households with after-hours workers, and also describes the support that they receive from employers. The 22.9 million corporate after-hours households account for over 60% of all home office households, and represent an important market for vendors of technology products and services.

"Corporate after-hours home office households are by far the largest segment of the home office market in the United States," says Merle Sandler, research manager in IDC's SMB and Home Office Market programs. "Although these households represent mature markets in terms of many technology products, there are still areas of potential for vendors, particularly in the areas of networking, security, and backup."
