Research and Markets Adds Report: The Future of Software Delivery: The Opportunities and Challenges of Emerging Software Delivery Models


Apr 10, 2009 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "The Future of Software Delivery: The Opportunities and Challenges of Emerging Software Delivery Models" report to its offerings.

In a release, Research and Markets noted that report highlights include: The way companies perceive and purchase their software is starting to change. Organizations no longer have to buy an on-premise application and host it on site, they can have it delivered on-demand, as a service or hosted by the software provider or a third party. But while these new models offer more choice in how they pay, receive and use applications, the proliferation of terms has led to some confusion amongst organizations about what they are and what they constitute. 'The Future of Software Delivery: The opportunities and challenges of emerging software delivery models' is a new report that examines the market conditions that led to the emergence of these new models and the benefits they offer over traditional delivery types.



This report also examines future market opportunities for software delivery models and how they may be extended to hardware platforms in the future.

Highlights of the report include: The size of the on-demand CRM market will increase rapidly through 2009 to reach 27 percent of total market size as the CAGR for on-demand far exceeds that for the total CRM market.


There are signs that enterprises with revenue of more than $1bn are also adopting more SaaS (Software as a Service) applications. Originally some industry commentators predicted SaaS would not expand beyond SMBs into larger organizations.

A study by Triple Tree and the Software and Information Industry Association (SIIA) found that on-demand deployments were 50 percent to 90 percent faster, with a total cost of ownership five to ten times less than installed software.

The growth rates for on-demand CRM and ERP application markets are significantly higher than for the premise-based market. This is an indicator of the high levels of growth potential in the market.
