This 2013 IFS study reveals that executives at middle market to large companies are less interested in implementing enterprise resource planning (ERP) software through subscription-based software-as-a-service (SaaS) than on-premise implementations or exploring a private cloud delivery system.
While the majority expressed some degree of familiarity with SaaS, respondents did not indicate they planned to switch to SaaS-based ERP in any numbers. ERP has traditionally been hosted on-premise, which, according to the study, remains as the preferred option among executives.

Mobility and mobile data solutions are part of the core foundation for ICT industry growth up to 2020, said Jason Andersson, IDC Program Director.
