Enterprise Resource Management (ERM) applications integrate content value chain and business support processes providing insight into critical business data. Stiff competition and rising costs are forcing companies to realign their processes, resources, financials etc, obtain a single view of spending levels and maximize usage of people and assets ensuring positive return on investment.



The SMB segment is expected to account for significant share of the ERM market, over the period 2008-2010. With the advent of on-demand or the SaaS (Software as a Service) model of ERP and other ERM applications, it has become affordable for a large number of companies. Further, the vendors have acquired the expertise and initiated channel programs to tap this segment.



Further, the ongoing cycles of market consolidation and innovation, combined with convergence of BI with enterprise applications and growing volumes of data are driving the demand for BI applications. The need for linking business processes with partners, suppliers and customers to have a comprehensive view of operations beyond the organization, is also expected to drive the demand further.



In addition, a shift from spending on planning, forecasting and analytical applications to spending on packaged analytical infrastructure technologies – data warehouses and data marts is expected to drive the market through 2012.
