This IDC study discusses the services ecosystems for three leading enterprise application independent software vendors (ISVs): Oracle, PeopleSoft, and SAP. The document will size the consulting and systems integration (C&SI) ecosystems for each ISV services market and discuss trends and market dynamics. In addition, it will present an overview of the competitive landscape by each of the major ISV packages and provide a ranking of the top 5 players. The document will profile the services arms of the ISVs and the enterprise resource planning (ERP) practices of the leading systems integrators (SIs). Furthermore, it will address the impact of Oracle's acquisition of PeopleSoft on the SIs practices and strategy. Finally, it makes recommendations for SIs and the services arms of the ISVs competing in this market.
The document answers the following questions:
What was the size of the C&SI ecosystems in 2004 for Oracle, PeopleSoft, and SAP? Who were the leading systems integrators for Oracle, PeopleSoft, and SAP in 2004 on a worldwide basis and in the United States? What are the trends, challenges, and opportunities for SIs operating in the enterprise application services space?"The unprecedented consolidation within the enterprise application software industry may shift the dynamics in the enterprise application services market and create further uncertainty. However, SIs with strong capabilities, a forward-looking vision, and close relationships with customers will be poised to capitalize on these opportunities," said Stephanie Torto, program manager for Systems Integration Business Strategies at IDC.
