IDC analyst Francesco Perilli announces he now leads the newly formed AI Economics research group, reporting to Bob Parker.
IDC's data show that a top priority for end-user organizations globally is understanding the cost structure of AI initiatives and quantifying expected business value. The firm already covers this from infrastructure, applications, data, enterprise tooling, and workforce angles — Perilli himself maintains 250+ slides for keynotes. The group will double down with a structured approach, starting with a monthly pulse study tracking AI cost and value metrics.
