SAP, Oracle, Sage Group, Infor, and Dassault Systèmes Are the Top 5
BOSTON, MA—July 8, 2009—AMR Research, the leading research firm focused on the global supply chain and its supporting technologies, released a report today that sizes the global enterprise applications market. The report lists the top 50 global enterprise application vendors by 2008 revenue. SAP is at the top of the list with $15.8B in application revenue, with Oracle, Sage Group, Infor, and Dassault Systèmes completing the top 5.
The top of the list of enterprise application vendors include:
SAP ($15.801B)
Oracle ($8.559B)
Sage Group ($2.408B)
Infor ($2.208B)
Dassault Systèmes ($1.958B)
Siemens PLM ($1.405B)
Microsoft ($1.308B)
Cadence ($1.038B)
PTC ($1.037B)
salesforce.com ($1.023B)
The complete of the top 50 enterprise applications vendors is available on AMR Research’s website.
Interestingly, Oracle’s acquisition of Sun, and Java, could wreak havoc on enterprise applications vendors in the future. AMR Research estimates over 60% of enterprise software vendors have applications that rely on Java, including many Oracle competitors, large and small. Of the 50 largest enterprise application companies, 33 offer applications that rely on Java. These companies represent over $38.5 billion, or 77% of the top 50’s 2008 revenue.
“Given the weak macro economic backdrop, the enterprise applications market had a surprisingly solid year in 2008. 2009, however, will be a whole different story,” said Dennis Gaughan, vice president at AMR Research. “Not only will vendors be impacted by the fragile economy, but 33 out of the top 50 vendors will have to reevaluate their commitment to the Java programming language.”
Methodology
To be included in AMR Research’s study, vendors must develop and sell application software products, provide implementation services, and provide software applications in at least one of the following segments: enterprise resource planning, supply chain management, sourcing and procurement (supply management), product lifecycle management, human capital management, and customer relationship management.
