ERPs and CRMs have become mainstays for most large organisations these days and quite rightly so. There is definitely a requirement for these systems to record, store and maintain the data that an enterprise depends on. However, with the proliferation of new cloud applications there is a major opportunity for companies to significantly reduce IT investment but still obtain huge productivity and efficiency gains and/or increase revenue.
The software business model has evolved substantially and in my opinion it is far more accessible to purchase and install new software. Previously, when an enterprise invested in an application, you generally paid a once-off license fee (possibly along with an annual software maintenance contract). Application providers then continued to work on improving the functionality of their offering expanding its features and functionality as well as fix any issues and subsequently release a new version. If you wanted to upgrade to the next version to take advantage of its improved functionality, it would then be charged at another one off upfront cost.
Most of the large enterprise software providers are now offering a subscription based model where users pay recurring fees rather than a large upfront cost. Software is now almost exclusively consumption based and based on per active user per period rather than the old perpetual model of “buying a licence”. It’s therefore more affordable for organisations to look at consuming software platforms to improve productivity and reduce operational cost.
