New Platform to Revolutionize Decision-Making
On April 8, 2026, IDC introduced IDC Quanta, a new AI-powered platform at its flagship event, Directions 2026, held in Boston, MA. This platform promises to deliver real-time technology intelligence within business workflows. The event attracted technology leaders, analysts, and industry experts.
IDC Quanta aims to transform the technology market by embedding actionable intelligence into existing tools. This innovation removes the need for manual data synthesis, allowing organisations to securely merge their own data with IDC’s research for personalized insights.
According to Lorenzo Larini, CEO of IDC, “AI is compressing time across the entire technology market, and that breaks the traditional research model. Leaders don’t need more noise. They need intelligence that shows up in the moment, grounded in data they trust, and ready to use. IDC Quanta makes that possible.”
The platform emerged from collaboration with leading technology providers and enterprise buyers. Demonstrated at the Directions event, IDC Quanta is built on five unique design principles that redefine technology intelligence delivery, including embedding intelligence within workflows and maintaining contextual relevance by combining business context with IDC intelligence.
Security is a fundamental aspect of IDC Quanta’s design. The platform ensures enterprise-grade privacy and control, with strict data isolation and governance. Customer data remains private, is never used to train models, and is fully protected within a secure workspace.
IDC Quanta proactively delivers scheduled intelligence, helping decision-makers stay ahead by uncovering insights faster. It utilises trend signals, anonymized peer patterns, and suggests next questions without requiring repetitive prompts.
