IDC's Central and Eastern European Commercial Systems and Servers 2004-2008 Forecast and 2003 Vendor Shares study provides detailed analysis of and forecasts (2004-2008) for the dynamics of eleven of Central East Europe's evolving markets (Bulgaria, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Slovakia, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Slovakia, and Rest of Eastern Europe) for commercial systems and technical workstations. The information in this study provides an understanding of the changes and challenges facing the IT industry in this emerging market. Our 2003 figures and analysis are based on information obtained from interviews with the leading computer system companies (vendors, distributors, assemblers, system integrators, value-added resellers, and dealers) in the market.

Additionally, the analysis of the commercial systems and server market should help answer the following key market questions:

• What are the defining characteristics of the region's commercial systems and server market?
• How will current and future economic conditions likely affect this regional market's development?
• What are the areas of highest penetration and growth potential within the server market by operating system, price band, and CPU type?
• How is the global rivalry between Microsoft's Server and Unix being played out in the CEE market? Where does Linux stand?
• Can vendors of proprietary environments capture new applications and growth on their platforms?
• What application segments are driving growth and what platforms are best positioned to gain in this evolving market?
• Who is gaining share in the region's server market and why are they winning?
• Where are the greatest opportunities for future growth?

"The SME sector will be one of the most dynamic customer segments in the coming years. IT hardware penetration remains low, with many businesses only now recognizing the need for more complex systems. Broader channels will be essential for international vendors to compete in this segment, as will a wide range of products and services to satisfy the requirements of this diverse end-user community". - Roman Maceška, Senior Research Manager, IDC CEMA
