In a webinar today produced by the market research company IDC, they released some projections on the adoption of Software as a Service (SaaS) business model for the next few years. Here are their results:
- SaaS Revenue is on a Tear (26% CAGR, 2010-1014)
- SaaS revenue to grow 5x faster than "all applications" spending; 6x faster than "all software"
- Influx of net new "products" delivered as SaaS (IDC estimate; 82% in 2012)
- <21% of brand new companies will go to market w/packaged (CD) product in 2010
- <35% of new products from established ISVs will be CDs in 2010
- Perpetual license revenue declines, for good (-$7 billion in 2009)
- ~37% of 2009 subscription revenue derives from MT SaaS: 43% in 2013
- On-premise, core ERP struggles (<5% CAGR overall, <3% CAGR for >5000 employee firms)
- Project-based work most vulnerable to cuts
- ERP upgrades are delayed, canceled
- SaaS market includes SW leaders (SAP, Oracle, IBM, HP), as well as SaaS pure-plays
- 56% of revenue is from pureplays; 18% from firms with >70% of revenue from SaaS; remainder from large firms with SaaS BUs
The source for these data come from an IDC report entitled: IDC #226328 Worldwide Software as a Service 2010-2014 Forecast: Software Will Never Be the Same

What if your IT manager walked into your office and let you know it was time to move your geospatial operation into the cloud? What would you do? Where would you start? Do you even know what questions to ask? Our editors assess the state of the geocloud and offer some advice on how to prepare for what may be that inevitable knock on the door.

China Economic Net has a not very well sourced article about the growth of the geospatial market in the country. Among the interesting tidbits:
Made-in-China geographic information system softwares represented by SuperMap and MapGIS have been emerging in succession and formed early scale.
Up to now, made-in-China 3D GIS softwares have taken up half of native market shares. A great deal of softwares in the industries like remote sensing and navigation have also realized independent innovation and occupied over 90 percent of native market shares.
There’s a nod the past stats of 20 percent growth per year, but there’s no numbers associated with the recent situation.

Dave Sonnen of IDC/ISSI provided one of the keynote presentations today at Korem’s Geodiffusion Conference in Quebec City. Here are some of the details, insights and market metrics that he presented to the audience:
IDC says geospatial technology has grown to $3 Billion in total software revenue with systems integration and custom application development providing an additional multipler affect of 3x to 5x that amount.
Sonnen also said that IDC is tracking 700 companies that do geospatial.
Overall market size is $50-$60 Billion in total revenue for acquiring, managing, analyzing map data. Sonnen also commented that some of the complaints about traditional geospatial technology is that it’s "too cautious, too incremental, and too dull…The technology is tailored largely for insiders but these are normal characteristics of any established industry."
Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) is a paradigm adopted by the Defense Intelligence Agency that allows analysts to do intelligence-gathering from wherever and whatever source that it happens to be ... wikis, blogs, whatever. Let the users find information and intelligence using a human-centered experience.
Sonnen’s notion of the Spatial Enterprise 2.0 acknowledges that spatial information will just be part of the infrastructure and that location-specific data will be generated by everything: mobile device being one example.
