This IDC study provides a top-down sizing of the SMB enterprise asset management (EAM) applications market in 2007 and a 2008-2012 forecast for this market. Spending for SMB EAM applications will increase as midsize and even small manufacturers and service providers in industrialized and industrializing countries rely even more on automation software to strengthen their competitiveness.
"Small and midsize organizations are beginning to become aware of the multiple benefits of EAM solutions, including their ability to reduce operating costs, effectively manage capital expenditures, and improve asset use and productivity," says Judy Hodges, research manager, SMB Enterprise Applications.
