Previously ERP software was mainly used by larger companies and enterprises. The use of ERP on a smaller scale has now created a higher demand for business management software that will contribute significantly to this market growth over the next three to four years.

On the flipside, the report points out that high rate and open source applications are factors that could also restrain the market for ERP in the future.

The report covered the global market but focused in on larger segments of that market such as the US, Canada, UK, Germany, China, Japan, India, Brazil, and GCC countries like Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. The study is broken down by different vertical (on-premises, cloud), function (finance, HR, etc.), and vertical analysis.
