3. SCM Software Market SCM software market (applications, maintenance and services) 2009 revenues stood at 1.9% decline over year 2008. This was first-ever decline in the SCM software market, at least since year 2001. 2009 was a year of status-quo. Market leaders did only as much business as they had done a year ago. 2010 forecast: $ 8 Bn(seems difficult to achieve)

4. SCM Software Market (Contd.) M&A: Few mergers and acquisitions happening (Major one: JDA purchased i2 Technologies) Strategies: In the post-recession scenario, most SCM providers are concentrating on improving their existing offerings, serving their customers better and thereby improving market share.

8. Industry Trends At present companies are focusing on buying and building smaller components which require less time to implement. E.g. demand planning s/w and S&OP. WMS market is one of the most mature segments within SCM software market. TMS is being widely preferred by companies because of better returns on investment (ROI) and cost reductions. Software-as-a-service (SaaS) is still a very small part of WMS market.

9. Industry Trends (Contd.) MES market had remained flat during recession and is still fragmented. Companies are trying to develop end-to-end footprint rather than making only part of the whole system. For example, TMS vendors are now providing all of fleet management, parcel management and carrier solutions. Software license fees were stable in recent years due to recession; are now getting back on the rise again. One niche area: Software applications which can run on a mobile phone.
