Summary

This IDC study contains a five-year forecast for software maintenance revenue, including a comparison with total software revenue.

"While SaaS and open source business models are gaining traction in the software industry, the traditional license/maintenance model is not going away in the foreseeable future," says Amy Konary, research director for Software Pricing, Licensing, and Delivery. "There are several elephants in the room, however, that threaten to make ISVs much less comfortable with their future ability to rely on maintenance revenue in the same way as they do today."
