This IDC study explores the CRM, ERM, and SCM deployment landscapes based on the results of a user survey, IT Solutions User Survey, conducted by IDC in January 2007. The implementation rates of CRM, ERM, and SCM are found to be 12.5%, 29.1%, and 14.9% respectively. Companies that plan to implement within two years account for 2.6%, 3.9% and 2.9% of the survey sample respectively. An increasing number of companies are implementing CRM, ERM, and SCM through the use of packaged software. On the whole, however, investments in IT solutions have been somewhat flat. Users are now more circumspect in undertaking investments. Rather than implementing large-scale projects, they tend to pinpoint the solutions they require and leverage packaged software.

Judging from the current implementation rates, there are still a lot of opportunities to be uncovered in the IT solutions market in the form of add-on and replacement needs among new and existing customers. To maintain growth, however, it is necessary for solution vendors to demonstrate their commitment to user companies in the long term. To do so, they should "strengthen services related to version upgrade and migration, provide products and services through flexible pricing systems, and create systems for partner development," observes Tomoko Akagi, group manager, Software, IDC Japan.
