While different countries and regions will fine-tune definitions based on the unique nature of their individual markets, the consistent application of key definitions allows regional and country-level results to be placed accurately in a larger global context. In addition to confirming the company size definitions, this IDC study also describes the vertical market categories included in SMB research as well as technology sources used. "IDC research continues to focus on employee count as the key to defining the SMB segment in its forecasts," said Raymond Boggs, vice president of SMB Research at IDC. "Small firms have fewer than 100 employees, while lower midsize firms have 100-499 and 500-999 employees." Get Full Details About This Report >> |
