the market

Large businesses can spend between $30 million and $90 million over a three-year period investing in technology (Gartner). Worldwide IT spending in business vertical markets is forecast to reach $2.1 trillion by the end of 2003, a 4.9 percent increase over 2002. It is estimated that over 40% of all IT investing is attributed to labor, consulting services and training.

Many companies with complex business processes or that face specific pain points, look to best-of-breed software providers to address their unique needs. However, packaged solutions are frequently based on standardized operational requirements versus industry-specific business rules. As a result, roll-outs tend to involve lengthy and sometimes costly development initiatives. Frequently, even successful implementations require major changes to business process.
