International Data Corporation (IDC) has announced a collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to integrate IDC’s proprietary intelligence directly into Amazon Quick Research, a new AI-powered research capability within Amazon Quick Suite, aiming to provide business users with faster, more informed decision-making.\n\nAmazon Quick Research is a next-generation AI research agent designed to assist business professionals in industries such as finance, technology, and consulting. It facilitates the generation, synthesis, and analysis of complex research across multiple data sources, offering verifiable, expert-level insights more rapidly than traditional manual methods. The integration of IDC’s premium research, encompassing over 11.5 billion data points, expands the depth and quality of intelligence available to professionals within their existing AWS environments. IDC is the inaugural technology data provider to be integrated into Quick Research, initially allowing existing IDC clients to access their subscribed content directly through the tool.\n\nThrough this collaboration, customers gain several advantages, including faster and more accurate insights that combine agentic AI with IDC’s verified intelligence. They also benefit from seamless access to IDC’s research and data within their existing AWS workflows, which is expected to improve productivity, streamline decision-making, and enhance confidence in AI-generated business insights.\n\nThis partnership represents a significant step in IDC’s strategy to deliver its technology intelligence directly into customer workflows and platforms. IDC recently unveiled an open AI-fueled ecosystem approach, which includes APIs, strategic partnerships, and a forthcoming AI intelligence platform. This integration with Amazon Quick Research serves as a rapid implementation of that strategic vision.\n\nMeredith Whalen, chief product, research and delivery officer at IDC, stated, “IDC’s integration with Amazon Quick Research represents a major step forward in bringing our trusted tech intelligence directly into the environments where our customers work. By pairing IDC’s analyst-validated intelligence with Amazon Quick Research, we’re accelerating our AI-fueled, human-driven approach and giving customers faster, more precise insights to support confident decision-making.” Access to IDC insights is now available to Quick Research customers holding select IDC subscriptions.
