Nothing clears up the brain like simple number mappings.
We looked at the results of the third fiscal quarter of 2009 on traditional vendors of business applications and SaaS companies.
Actually, from the tables everything is obvious. The column of license revenues is especially revealing - traditional vendors have a catastrophic failure, they only make ends meet thanks to sales of support, and a hard cost reduction.
SaaS figures also slowed down a bit compared to pre-crisis times, but almost everything is good and not bad.
In general, the money has clearly turned and run towards SaaS.
What else is interesting - it used to seem that SaaS vendors in terms of turnover strongly inferior to traditional ones, IDC with Gartner consider this market microscopic, it seems, only 3% of the entire industry of corporate software. But judging by this tablet, SaaS vendors are already beginning to catch up with the middle peasants from the market of traditional business applications.
