Here are some key findings from our research on enterprise software:

• 69% of respondents currently use enterprise software and another 9% are considering an
  implementation within a year
• Small companies were far more likely to not use or have a plan for enterprise software (nearly 22
  times more likely than large companies, and over three times more likely than small to medium
  organizations).
• Databases, storage and human resources were the most popular business functions towards which
  companies are using or considering enterprise software, however mobility was also cited as a strong
  category for future deployments.
• Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Business Intelligence (BI), Financial Management and IT
  Service Management/System Integration were the top four components of enterprise software in use.
• 24% of respondents were “very satisfied” with their current enterprise software products and another
  55% described themselves as “somewhat satisfied.”
• Nearly a third of respondents have replaced enterprise apps with cloud services within the past year,
  or intend to do so in the next year and just slightly less are opting for a hybrid approach.
