Episode 25 - IDP Market Updates!
Monday, 17 March, 2025
The twenty-fifth episode of the podcast that you know and love as "We Love Ugly Data!" is out; available in audio form everywhere you get your podcasts from and additionally in video form via YouTube (which we've embedded below). As usual it’s three topics in (just a touch over) 30 minutes, and the show notes are included just below the embedded video. This time, it's Matt and Dan are in the chairs for this IDP-focused edition, discussing; the newly launched "Intelligent Document Processing Market Analysis 2025-2028: IDP at the Crossroads" report, IDP and Agents and the final instalment of how analysts add value (and when they don't).In this month’s episode:Topic 1: New IDP Market AnalysisIt's that time of the year again for the updated version of Dan's magnum opus, the "Intelligent Document Processing Market Analysis", covering the years 2025-2028 and coming with the intriguing subtitle "IDP at the Crossroads". Dan explains some of the headlines from the report: how revenue is still increasing, where this growth is the most notable among the sub-markets, and where the expectations amongst vendors lay for forward-looking financial performance.Topic 2: IDP & AgentsAs Matt mentions, if you don't talk about Agents on a software podcast the Police will call on you to ask why, it's time to talk about Agents from an IDP perspective. It's the number one trend within the report and Dan has some survey data from IDP vendors to share about their outlook for Agents within their product roadmaps (hint: it's an explosion of agents, but you're not surprised are you?). Matt also mentions that if you've not read the free report on Agents that we published in January, what on earth are you doing? Really? Topic 3: Analyst Value (pt 3)Finally, it's Dan's turn to contribute to the topic of when analysts add value and when they don't (adding to the contributions that Matt and Alan have made during the last couple of episodes. Dan plumps for "calling the baby ugly" and competitive analysis in the plus column, with lacking in of real world business experience & "TL;DR analysts" in the negative column. We could explain the ugly baby and TL;DR references to you here and now, but why not have a quick listen and let Dan explain their meaning himself? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBjYCEkCDR4 Related Links for Series 4 Episode 2Intelligent Document Processing Market Analysis 2025-2028: IDP at the Crossroads is available for Deep Analysis subscribers immediately, or if you're not and would like it as a one-off purchase, you can get it here."AI Agents: What They Are, How They Work, and Where Organizations Might Best Use Them" can be downloaded here for FREE (OK, a few personal details but no actual money).Matt's blog post "Use process analysis to reflect who you are – another lesson from Work Intelligence".More on the "More Cowbell" sketch that Dan refers to.
