IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Document Scanner 2025–2026 Vendor Assessment

Keith Kmetz, Geoffrey Wilbur, Tim Greene — Mon, 08 Dec 2025 05:00:00 GMT

This IDC study assesses the market for document scanners among the most prominent global vendors and identifies their strengths and challenges. This assessment discusses both quantitative and qualitative characteristics that position vendors for success in this important market. This IDC study is based on a comprehensive framework to evaluate document scanners delivered within the context of an engagement.

"Document scanning plays a critical role in the information management process. The importance of selecting the right document imaging scanner will only increase as AI tools require the availability of images and data to improve document and data workflows. Image quality and OCR capabilities, supported by document and data management software and solutions, are important considerations when selecting a scanning solution. Indeed, buyers should focus on how a scanning solution fits into their companies' workflows. Moreover, performance, reliability, and versatility are also important factors to consider when selecting the correct solution for their needs." — Geoffrey Wilbur, research manager, Imaging, Printing, and Document Solutions at IDC

Hardcopy Vendor Financials, 2Q25: Continuing Economic Uncertainty Results in Another Soft Quarter

Geoffrey Wilbur, Abhyuday Jampu — Sat, 06 Dec 2025 05:00:00 GMT

This IDC Market Perspective contains excerpts from public financial disclosures by leading hardcopy vendors and details the impact of inflation, economic uncertainty, and other issues facing hardcopy vendors on performance and forecasts.

"In the second quarter, business and consumer confidence remained soft in the wake of U.S. tariffs and weak global economic factors, resulting in another slow quarter for the hardcopy market. At the same time, a strengthening yen, particularly when compared with the U.S. dollar, resulted in a foreign exchange environment that suppressed yen-denominated revenue, causing the market to appear worse than it actually was. Improving exchange rates will result in more representative results in the third quarter, though market weakness is expected to continue into 2026." — Geoffrey Wilbur, research manager, Imaging, Printing, and Document Solutions at IDC

Network Automation: Fueled by AI and Focused on Many Critical Tasks

Mark Leary — Sat, 06 Dec 2025 05:00:00 GMT

This IDC Survey Spotlight offers insights into the planned role and focus of AI-powered network automation. These survey results are drawn from IDC's 2025 AI in Networking Special Report — a report driven by a worldwide survey of 500+ enterprise network executives and experts. The report covers both the impact and plans for supporting AI workloads across the network and using AI-powered networking solutions. The focus of this document is comprehensive, covering datacenters, cloud services, multicloud environments, network core and edge, and network management. While this IDC Survey Spotlight offers only a view into total responses, results are available by geographic region, select country, company size, major vertical industries, respondent's role, and the AI maturity level of the respondent's organization.

"The vast majority of network executives and experts believe network automation must be fueled by AI. And there is a growing commitment to AI to not only determine network faults and needed changes but also actually execute the necessary management actions. Given the complexity and criticality of the network infrastructure and the very real shortcomings of networking staff and tools, AI is seen as a crucial ingredient in improving network service levels and capabilities, networked resource use and protection, networking staff productivity, and value. The focal points for AI-powered network automation certainly indicate that IT organizations are moving toward a future where more precise, proactive, and protective autonomous management will be the norm — not the exception." — Mark Leary, research director, Network Observability and Automation, IDC

"The year-over-year results show a dramatic increase in the perceived use of AI-powered networking, indicating the rapid rise of AI in powering next-generation network engineering and operations."
