Standardized IT spend and growth metrics by country, sector, and sizeband, with confidence scores and client-ready customization.

Why this matters

Why this matters

Traditional IT spend benchmarks are built on national averages or generic industry reports. They lack the resolution to support precise market sizing or account-level analysis.

This segment closes the gap by aligning directly with your taxonomies — country, sector, and sizeband — to deliver explainable, confidence-scored IT spend and growth benchmarks. Results can scale from market sizing to CRM enrichment.

How does this compare to Gartner, IDC, or consulting reports?

Analyst and consulting reports (e.g., Gartner, IDC, McKinsey) are valuable for directional insights but typically provide national or broad sector averages, often refreshed annually. Starzdata segments are different: they align to your own taxonomies (country × sector × sizeband), refresh on your chosen frequency, and return confidence-scored metrics ready to plug into models or CRM workflows.
