Summary

This IDC study provides the latest worldwide market shares of 146 supplier relationship management (SRM) applications vendors for 2005-2007. In addition to profiling major SRM applications vendors Ariba, Oracle, and SAP and their strategies and challenges, the document offers forecast through 2012 of the SRM applications market by five major segments: contract management, core purchasing, strategic sourcing, and supplier collaboration. With the faltering economy, many supplier relationship management applications vendors are expected to navigate treacherous territories as purchasing professionals and supply chain managers adjust their IT investment plans.

"The good news is that many of these vendors continued to post improved results because of their ability to help companies yield substantial savings," said Albert Pang, IDC director of Enterprise Applications research. "The key is for SRM players to expand their presence in strategic verticals with compelling solutions and affordable pricing programs while eying new opportunities in areas such as services procurement and strategic verticals."
