Various SaaS vendors have been predicting that SaaS adoption would increase in harsher economic times. According to a new IDC report, that seems to be becoming reality in Europe.
The researchers found that 37% of IT leaders planned to invest money into some form of SaaS within the next two years for ERP systems. For CRM, 35% intended to use SaaS to replace existing software and 32% had similar plans for supply chain management.
In an article about the findings on Comms Express, Bo Lykkegaard from IDC is quoted as predicting, "We believe SaaS spending will be directed at new applications and at replacement of broken applications, rather than at ripping and replacing working solutions."
In a report about the same findings, ithotdesk pointed out that some companies may be using SaaS to reduce their carbon footprints.
