Future of the Enterprise Software Industry

A Booz Allen Hamilton whitepaper on:

Future of the Enterprise Software Industry (January 2006)

“No new concepts as significant as supply chain management (SCM) or customer relationship management (CRM) are on the near horizon just a constant pressure to make incremental improvements. Meanwhile, virtually every company that needed to add enterprise software to its application portfolio has already done so. With no radically new technologies imminent and with most markets saturated, the enterprise software sector can expect to see the shakeout cycle typical of any maturing industry, as companies consolidate and rationalize.”

The Coming Software Shakeup

strategy + business on the future of enterprise software by Mitch Rosenbleeth, Corrie DeCamp, and Stephen Chen:

The Coming Software Shakeup

“Five years ago, 11 companies controlled 90 percent of the database market; now only six do. In business applications, the trend is even more pronounced: Seventy percent of the market is now controlled by just 35 companies, compared with more than 120 companies in 2000.

About 25 percent of software is already sold by subscription; that ´s likely to increase to more than 50 percent in the next four years. This approach will also speed acceptance of software as a service, which lets customers access programs via the Web and pay only for the amount of time that they use the software.”
