Despite relatively high ESG data readiness (compared with the U.K. and Germany), there remain organizational and technological barriers that tech suppliers need to be aware of in France. AI/GenAI deployment is valued for certain use cases. Together, these dynamics highlight clear opportunities for technology suppliers to deliver integrated, standard-aligned, and execution-focused ESG data management solutions adapted to the requirements of the French market.</P> IDC Survey Wed, 04 Mar 2026 05:00:00 GMT Katharina Grimme IDC's Worldwide Storage and Computing Infrastructure Software Platforms Taxonomy, 2026 https://my.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=US53462126&utm_medium=rss_feed&utm_source=alert&utm_campaign=rss_syndication <P>This IDC taxonomy document provides a detailed description of our storage and computing infrastructure software platforms (SCISP) research coverage.
