We recently published a related blog topic, but with a slightly different angle. I believe that although IT spending will be more scrutinized in 2009 than in recent years past, companies in general will still continue investing in ERP technology in the next year. If anything, it is a good time to leverage the potential of ERP to improve productivity, lower overall costs, and position companies for a strong recovery.

I am intrigued with the question “how will you do it?”. Personally, I believe the SaaS vendors will have a significant advantage in the coming quarters. Companies can gain significant technological advantage without the need for large cap-ex outlay. Would be interested in others opinions on whether the current economic conditions will increase the likelihood of them engaging with SaaS based offerings.
