Mobile Enterprise Applications - a market waiting to happen?

21.10.2004
Von Andrew Tanner-Smith

Pitted against the start-ups are the large established enterprise software vendors, such as SAPSAP, PeopleSoft and Siebel most of which have mobile offerings even if it isn’t a specific area of focus for them. Frost & Sullivan contends that the start-ups will have to prove themselves against these giants. These larger vendors have clients that trust them to deliver true enterprise functionality, they have strong, established partnerships with systems integrators that they can rely on to add depth of understanding, mobile skills and indeed prospect for new customers. It is this group that will ultimately win out. As in many markets in the past most start-ups will find the going too tough and will fail as the market becomes more competitive, some will be acquired. A small number will succeed in the longer term - those that can match the excellence of their technology with marketing and business savoir faire. Alles zu SAP auf CIO.de
