Evolving Business Application Preferences (Part 1): Best-of-Breed or Suite
Saugatuck Technology, Nov 2009, Pages: 6
This Strategic Perspective is the first in a set of three that will focus on evolving buyer preferences with regard to business applications software. Over the past couple of years, the authors have set out to gain a better understanding of software investment across three dimensions of the buyer decision process: acquisition, deployment model and licensing / payment arrangements.
In particular, in this Strategic Perspective we re-examine the age-old question as to whether executives prefer to acquire business applications as part of an integrated suite, or via a “best-of-breed” approach – an especially important question in light of emerging Cloud-based options. We also look at the overall results of our global study by software application category comparing the results across regions and company size to determine differences among preferences.
In particular, we address the following questions:
-Do executives prefer to purchase business applications as part of an integrated suite or as part of a “best of breed” approach?
- Are there differences by software category? By region? By company size?
- How have these preferences changed over the past year?
- What are the implications for users of business applications? For vendors?
