Right now, the world is generating more than seven petabytes of data every second. That’s roughly the equivalent of producing 17 billion books every second. By 2029, that number will more than double. And that’s before more than a billion AI agents come online, each one generating, consuming, and amplifying information at machine speed. [IDC Global DataSphere Forecast, 2025–2029]
We’re drowning in information.
But more data doesn’t mean more clarity. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. Most of what’s flooding in isn’t even original; it’s copies, reprints, and regurgitations. And AI can make even bad data look very convincing.
In a world where noise is growing and clarity is fading; the biggest challenge enterprises face is discerning what’s real from what’s just an echo. The winners won’t be the organizations with the most data. They’ll be the ones with frictionless access to the truth — and the confidence to act on it.
Today, IDC is delivering that with IDC Quanta, the technology intelligence fabric of the AI-enabled enterprise. For more than 60 years, organizations around the world have trusted IDC to help them navigate technology decisions and deliver data-backed intelligence to sharpen business strategies.
IDC Quanta takes the same structured, sourced, defensible insights, pairs them with your data and context, and puts them inside the tools your teams already use. A process that previously required disjointed systems, manual synthesis, and endless hours is now relevant, citable, and frictionless.
IDC Quanta lives inside email, inside Anthropic’s Claude AI, and inside the custom AI tools and workflows enterprises are building right now. No portal or separate login required. No need to leave the tools or workflows you’re already in. Instead, IDC Quanta gives you the ability to call on its intelligence the moment you need it — whether that’s a competitive client deal on the line, a board presentation, a roadmap under review, or vetting a new software platform.
Upload your own data and documents, and IDC Quanta synthesizes and visualizes them alongside IDC’s research in a single session. Adding to that is an extensive memory layer that ensures every conversation deepens what IDC Quanta knows about your role and your priorities, making each answer it returns sharper than the last. Your business context, combined with IDC’s, gives you a fuller picture than either could produce on its own.
But there’s something else important to note when it comes to context, and that’s security. With more than 175 beta customers helping us shape IDC Quanta’s development, the questions we heard most were simple: is loading data and documents secure, and are those documents used to train the model? The answers are “yes” and “no, respectively. Every upload lives in a private workspace with AES-256 encryption, enterprise-grade compliance and privacy controls, is automatically deleted after 90 days, and is never used to train IDC’s models. That means the confidence IDC Quanta gives you never comes at the cost of what you shared to get it.
Every response IDC Quanta gives runs through a multi-agent system that validates it against IDC’s 15B proprietary data points and expert-led research before it ever reaches you. An expandable reasoning panel shows exactly how the answer was built and includes detailed citations for answers you can stand in the boardroom and defend.
IDC Quanta doesn’t wait to be asked. Automated scheduling capabilities enable IDC Quanta to proactively deliver the intelligence you need to monitor with regularity and then goes a step further, surfacing anonymized peer signals and related follow-up questions you didn’t know to ask.
IDC Quanta is live today and available to all current and new IDC customers. It was Amarok CIO Ashley Spicer who said it best:
“We are getting ridiculous, previously unimaginable value from IDC Quanta. If you had told me 20 years ago that I would have access to something like this in my lifetime, I would have said no way. Our team is creating massive value by fielding questions and guiding understanding for critical decisions and strategic programs.”
With more integrations, more use cases, and packages tailored specifically for CIOs and IT leaders arriving this August, we’re just getting started. Intelligence will never be the same.
