HOW WE'RE DIFFERENT
IDC Quanta goes beyond a research portal or GenAI search bar — it turns your own competitive data into board-ready proof.
-
Your own business data, synthesized and benchmarked
Securely upload your business data and documents, and IDC Quanta ingests, synthesizes, and benchmarks them against IDC data in the same conversation — vs. tools that let you upload documents but leave the synthesis to you.
-
Delivered where AR, PMM, and Sales already work
Answers arrive in your inbox and inside Claude and other tools, with no new portal or login required — vs. research subscriptions and GenAI copilots that keep intelligence locked inside their own portal.
-
Every claim traceable to source
Section-level citations and an expandable reasoning panel back every answer in IDC’s data and methodology — vs. public GenAI tools, which return fast, generic, unsourced information.
-
Built and validated by the people who know your market
Shaped with 175+ beta customers and checked across 300+ AI validation dimensions by IDC’s 1,000+ analysts — vs. tools built without tech-vendor input or IDC’s research rigor.

Frequently Asked Questions
What tech vendors need to know about IDC Quanta.
IDC Quanta is the technology intelligence fabric of the AI-enabled enterprise. It brings the structured, sourced, and defensible intelligence IDC has produced for more than 60 years directly into the tools and workflows where your teams already work — delivered automatically, traceable to source, and embedded without requiring a separate portal or login.
A research portal requires you to stop what you’re doing, navigate to a separate interface, find what you need, and translate it into action. IDC Quanta removes those steps entirely. Intelligence arrives in your inbox, inside Claude AI, and across your existing workflows — every answer sourced and traceable back to primary IDC research.
Yes. IDC Quanta is built for the teams tech vendors rely on to compete — Analyst Relations, Market Intelligence, Product Marketing, Sales, and Revenue Operations — who need fast, defensible answers for competitive positioning, sales proposals, and strategic planning.
IDC Quanta is built for enterprise security. Every query and document lives in a fully private, isolated workspace. Your data is protected with AES-256 encryption, automatically deleted after 90 days, and never used to train any AI model. IDC Quanta is SOC 2 Type I certified (Type II underway), with single sign-on and governance controls for enterprise deployment.
