Abstract
This IDC study develops some estimates for spending on enterprise
applications, specifically CRM, ERP, and collaborative applications, using recent survey
data (focused on the medium-sized and large business categories). Software
is the key component of enterprise application solutions; however, even
though software spending is projected to decline in 2009 and
2010, there is potential spending growth in the sector due
to hardware and IT services activities with the possibility of
some (limited) software spending growth as well.
"While software revenue
may be down for enterprise application vendors in Canada, the
solution area itself remains viable for software vendors and ecosystem
partners through the tail-end of the recession, with better growth
prospects in 2011," says Jim Westcott, research manager, Software.
