Abstract
This IDC study provides vendors with license, subscription, and maintenance
revenue guidance for the Canadian enterprise applications market segment for
2008-2012.
"Despite the expected economic recession in the United States and its likely
impacts on the Canadian economy, enterprises should stay on course with their
original application investments. It is in times of economic downturn when
enterprise application investments to increase productivity, reduce costs, and
gain a competitive advantage are needed the most," says Vinay Nair, research
manager, Canadian Enterprise Applications, IDC Canada. "There is no better
opportunity to make changes in business processes, technology, and in people to
better align with market opportunities and to realize better cost efficiencies."
