SSA Global: Integrating Applications, Shifting Perceptions
Datamonitor, June 2004, Pages: 27
Introduction
Overview and analysis of this technology vendor which has undergone strategic renewal over the last four years, making seven acquisitions, in an attempt to broaden its customer base and compete more effectively in its chosen markets.
Scope
Analysis and commentary on organizational restructuring and current financial performance.
Analysis and commentary on product portfolio and peer group competition.
Analysis and commentary on strategic positioning with overall viewpoints consolidated into a SWOT analysis and conclusions.
Highlights
With the size of a vendor affecting its ability to offer sufficient levels of client support, R&D and the long-term security of customers investments, Datamonitor expects the recent spate of mergers and acquisitions to continue, ultimately leaving the sector with around three to four major players over the long term, and some boutique vendors.
While SSA Global may lead the enterprise software market for manufacturing, it is still a considerable distance behind the overall enterprise software market leaders, and will therefore need considerable growth, both organically and by acquisition, in order to avoid being an acquisition target itself in the longer term.
This paper recommends SSA focuses on the importance of interoperability between applications, allowing customers to reduce operational cost and complexity, and enabling best of breed deployments while leveraging existing investments. With an overlapping set of applications, completing this task will be key to strengthening the SSA Global brand.
