# IDC Quanta integration into Claude

IDC has connected its Quanta technology-intelligence platform to Claude through an MCP connector, so a customer can describe a market, strategy or purchasing question in Claude and receive finished analysis built on IDC forecasts and data, with each answer citing the IDC document or dataset behind it. Previously, applying market research meant reading long reports to reach answers such as a vendor shortlist or a competitive brief. IDC has also deployed Claude across the company, where its engineers rebuilt an internal data repository in three weeks instead of an estimated three months.
