| This IDC study provides a worldwide reforecast and vendor share analysis of the requirements definition and management (SCM) market from 2008 to 2012. "2007 exhibited strong requirements definition and management growth which will be decently supported moving into 2008, marked by coordination across life-cycle phases to target testing, change management and initial IT Project Portfolio coordination," said Melinda Ballou, IDC program director, Application Life-Cycle Management. "While we predict significantly lower growth rates in the upcoming forecast period, even in a difficult economic climate, we expect to see some growth - though slower - in 2008 and throughout the forecast period as the need for requirements definition and management in a difficult economic climate and the need for improved software development team productivity sustain ongoing demand for requirements definition and management tools."
