Across enterprise application categories, SAP dominated with market share of 36.5 per cent (ERP), 34.8 per cent (CRM) and 33.2 per cent (SCM).
SAP has encountered difficulties in repositioning itself for the SME market but has predicted its software-as-a-service (SaaS) expertise will enable it to increase its market share over the next three years.
