Big-ERP Vulnerable to Search Enabled, Agile Applications
October 26, 2008
CIOL (India) published “What Lies in Store for Small ERP Vendors,” by Pratima Harigunani. I was going to click right past the document, but my dunce cap monitoring tools insisted I would be interested in this article. I dived in and discovered that my software was actually right for once. The key point in the article is that big ERP or enterprise resource planning vendors are in for a tough time. In today’s economic environment, that is not news. I learned from CiOL that:
Says Sanjay Mehta, CEO, MAIA Intelligence that has recorded 91 per cent growth with 47 large corporate using its solution. “One of our OEM partners – Udyog Software India (Ltd.) offers solutions in Excise software with our 1KEY bundles for analytics and reporting. In this way the Indian ERP companies can create a niche for themselves, at the same time offer an unique proposition to its customers by offering a reporting and analytical tool. Bigger players do not cater to this combined solutions.
I had not heard of MAIA Intelligence. Check out the company here. What I found intriguing is that this search-enabled application has found a market despite the strong grip of such companies as Business Objects, IBM Cognos, and Oracle. MAIA is more agile and bundles some high value features in a “zero footprint deployment”; for example, dead simple data cube to chart formatting and data transformation tools.
Acquisition anyone?
