IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Managed SASE Services 2025 Vendor Assessment

Ghassan Abdo, James Eibisch, Yogesh Shivhare — Tue, 21 Oct 2025 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC study assesses 15 providers that provide managed SASE services on a global basis. The assessment is based on their current capabilities and strategies for delivering managed SASE services. This comprehensive analysis by IDC on this rapidly growing market provides insights into enterprises deciding on the adoption of managed SASE services in their journey toward network transformation.

"By unifying network and security under a common architecture, SASE provides a compelling framework to achieve zero trust networking paradigm. It behooves service providers and technology providers to communicate the value of a unified SASE framework and how it mitigates typical friction in networking and security decision process," said Ghassan Abdo, research VP, Worldwide Telecom.

"Managed SASE services are increasingly distinguished by how effectively they embed security into converged architectures. Providers that unify SSE, SD-WAN, and threat intelligence into a managed framework are best positioned to deliver connectivity and performance as well as continuous risk reduction and zero trust execution at scale," added Yogesh Shivhare, research manager, Security and Trust.

"SASE promises to converge networking and security into a single manageable entity, but the reality is that enterprises have diverse needs and preferences as well as established ways of managing security so that there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Service providers need to retain flexibility and customer choice in their offerings," said James Eibisch, research director, European Enterprise Communications Services.

Embracing Transformation: Options for Structuring Transformational Leadership

Karen D. Schwartz, Tony Olvet, Teodora Snoddy — Sat, 18 Oct 2025 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC Perspective explains the reasons why transformation functions have become formalized, along with different ways organizations set up the function.

Organizations must keep transforming to remain competitive, satisfy users and employees, and expand opportunities. There are many ways to transform: digital transformation (integrating digital technologies into areas of a business and changing business models, processes, and strategies to accommodate the transformation), AI-focused transformation (including a shift toward AI agents and greater levels of automation), and many other types of core, operational, and strategic transformations to improve and modernize business processes, workflows, and even models. Core transformations are fundamental shifts in the way an organization operates, while operational transformations change an existing operating model to align better with strategy.

The key is that businesses must keep transforming in ways that make strategic sense for their organizations and industry. That's why so many businesses now have some sort of transformation lead. In many cases, it's a chief transformation officer, or a vice president or director of transformation who typically reports to a C-suite executive. Sometimes, however, it's transformation by committee via a COE, a cross-functional group with high levels of knowledge and competency that works across business units to come up with ideas, disseminate knowledge, and share best practices. And in other cases, especially when businesses want to see what's possible and how much it will cost, the choice, at least initially, is to outsource the transformation function.

No matter which route is taken, the key is to do it right. That means developing a transformational road map that includes thorough benchmarking and baselining, collaborating with internal stakeholders, building a transformational culture and managing change, and measuring progress and results.

"Companies today need to react more quickly to the ever-changing needs of their markets and customers if they want to remain competitive and relevant," said Karen D. Schwartz, adjunct research adviser for IDC's IT Executive Programs (IEP). "The only way to do that is by continually thinking in terms of transformation. The actual transformation activity may change, but the role of transformation leader is probably here to stay."

How Are the Prices of Used and Refurbished x86 Servers Trending?

Lara Greden — Sat, 18 Oct 2025 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC Survey Spotlight explores the question: How are the prices of used and refurbished x86 servers trending in 2025 versus last year?

Understanding IT buyer demand for used equipment is key to forecasting overall market demand for IT assets and buying cycles.

Industry Buyers Handbook: Americas Manufacturing, 2025

Carlos Gonzalez, Jonathan Lang, Heriberto Roman, Nigel Wallis — Sat, 18 Oct 2025 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC Industry Buyers Handbook aims to help technology vendors understand the areas of technology investments of manufacturing organizations in the Americas region. Vendors can use this handbook to:

Align the company's proposition to the buyer's tech priorities as they relate to domain processes
Position the technology offering and innovation capabilities to respond to the buyer's business transformation objectives

Technology vendor executives in marketing, sales, and product strategy and other areas can leverage the insight from this handbook to inform and formulate their approach with buyers in the manufacturing sector. The insight provided in this handbook is largely based on IDC survey data but also leverages senior IDC analysts' knowledge, IDC research, and ongoing conversations with key industry players.

"The collaboration between digital vendors and manufacturers must be stronger now than ever, as the distinction between operational technology (OT) and data continues to fade. Companies are increasingly looking to leverage data to improve their operations, and the integration of OT and IT will be essential in supporting the ongoing transformation driven by AI and data." — Carlos M. González, research manager of Industrial Internet of Things and Intelligence Strategies at IDC
